# An update on our programme in NE Kenya from Fred and Emily project leaders
Trust you are all well, we are doing well and reflecting on the goodness of our Lord Jesus Christ. Isn’t it amazing to know that He left all the glory and came to save us. This is pure love, We thank KINDFUND for demonstrating this love to us and the children in Dabel.
All our staff are doing well and continuing to grow better. Emily , children and I are all doing well and continuing in the service.
We are pleased to share the progress and impact, now in our 4th year, of the Kindfund Feeding Program here. With your generous support, we provide nutritious meals to over 70 children. Beyond addressing hunger and malnourishment, the program has significantly contributed to improved learning outcomes, attendance, and overall well-being. The children we are reaching out to are aged 4-13 years.
Teachers and caregivers have observed positive changes in children participating in the feeding program, including improved Concentration: Students are more alert and attentive during lessons. Higher school attendance motivated by meals availability. We have also noticed enhanced academic performance and social development in learners that we are serving.
Our Bibles lessons are also being done well and many children are being reached with the love of Christ. We are proud to report that the best performance per class came majorly from the children in the program. The majority of these had lost hope in education but God has restored hope to them through Kindfund’s Dabel program. This includes supporting 20 children with school fees. We also boast of six learners from our programme, who are now in form two in secondary schools. They are also performing well in their academics. Its just amazing to report that they perform so well in Christian religious education as a result of the BES that we have been doing together.
Its sad to report that one of the children we had called B broke his leg and he finds it difficult to walk. The leg is straight and hard the doctors at Moyale recommended for a surgery in a specialized hospitals with equipment. His mum a single lady is still traying to raise the funds. We are currently considering how we can help.
Its also amazing to see the transformation taking place in the life of R the girl in Moyale technical training collage. She is learning and is soon sitting for her exams.
We are glad to report that S is also doing well in YWAM ATHI and continues to grow in Christ. We are thrilled by all the doings of the Lord . We look forward to expand the program to reach out to more additional children . We also look to a day that we shall be having Kindfund kindergarten school in Dabel.
From Dabel, we Emily and Fred would like to let you know that your support is making a tangible difference. Every meal served is a step toward a brighter, healthier, and more educated future for these children. On behalf of all the beneficiaries, thank you for your continued generosity and commitment. During this festive season we also wish you a blessed Easter holiday filled with warmth and love. To Mr.K, Mr. W and Mr. J we say Karibu sana (much welcome) to Dabel.

# Building well-rounded adults
Other sporting activities which are built into the home calendar include a running club (organised by two young men from Austria one of whom visited in January 2024), and football, volleyball and other activities
My purpose is to share a few photos to encourage those of you who support Kindfund.
Our Wamba site is home to over 70 children and during this long school break from late October through to early January we have a varied programme of development, social (those with relatives willing to host them have spent a few weeks in November with them), academic (study and tuition), spiritual (participation in home worship) and physical activity (health both physical and mental wellbeing).
One such activity was a boxing day ramble up the local mountain to a reservoir and some of the photos from this event inspired me to write this short piece. Other sporting activities which are built into the home calendar include a running club (organised by two young men from Austria one of whom visited in January 2024), and football, volleyball and other activities. The regular participation in these activities has resulted in quite a few of our children participating in sports at a District and County level.
The impact on the children’s wellbeing is reflected in the children’s faces and demeanours in the photos.
A special thank you to Samson, our teacher who carries most of the load organising these activities. and himself enjoys participating and recording the events mainly on video. Our thanks also cover his helpers from our tertiary students home on leave and the Home management team for their commitment to the wellbeing of the children.

# For to us a child is born
The Lord sees our hearts, understands our motives and takes pleasure when his children are kind to the poor and needy.
As I write Christmas eve has slipped into Christmas morning so my first prayer is for a happy and peaceful Christmas to all our children and staff, friends and supporters in Kenya and around the world and to our Kindfund team here in Northern Ireland.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Thank you to those of you, our fellow workers who hold this work of love before the Lord faithfully in prayer throughout the year and to those who have been led to donate something extra at Christmas. The Lord sees our hearts, understands our motives and takes pleasure when his children are kind to the poor and needy.
Your generosity allows us to give a little extra at Christmas and in addition to our own children we have provided a token of God’s love to other children to enable them to celebrate.
Our photos show our own children at Wamba underneath their hand made Christmas decorations in the dining hall, a small Sunday School who were able to celebrate under a tree at Merille, Marsabit County as a result of a token of our support and the final photo taken a few days ago shows 2 of several of our children who have been struck with a virus probably mumps which reminds us of all who suffer in this world as we celebrate.
Today, more than ever we need the Mighty God of Love, the Prince of Peace and the Wonderful Counsellor who broke into this world at Bethlehem to reconcile all creation to God, providing the only cure for the Fall and the awful state man has fallen into as he speeds on his way to judgement. It is clearer today than ever that the world cannot continue on this trajectory.
Still there is time and God’s call for repentance and acceptance of his cure for our ills – believing on the Lord Jesus – needs to be preached to all who will listen across the world.
We encourage you brothers and sisters to “Be still before the Lord” Like Habakkuk “stand at the ramparts” He alone can give you understanding and reveal his plans for your life.
We pray for renewal asking God to send out labourers to collect the harvest as winter approaches.
