The other night one of the boys stood at the top of the stairs, sobbing, I just want to be with you! 2 thoughts on “ Day Four: Kids? Glad grandm...

In Joshua’s words, “Not being able to provide for my kids and my wife made me feel like I was nothing.” When Nuru came,. Joshua learned new methods for planting and provided a loan of good seed and fertilizer. Joshua was able to go from growing five bags of maize to twenty two bags of maize on his farm. It is an honor to work together with you and Nuru to make this ...
