Rain and Rape in Eldoret

Nick Korir is pictured on the right. He and several others attended a large rally yesterday and talked to the community about HIV/AIDS. The roads are covered in murky brown water from the rain, but 6,000 people showed up, and Nick was able to talk for 45 minutes. A member of parliament, Mr. Joseph Langat, was in attendance as well.

Nick and the team in Eldoret, Kenya work to provide assistance and awareness to confront the problems of HIV/AIDS affecting the slums there. His work is featured on the HopeForEldoret.org website.

The photo below is of Dr. Oronje feeding milk to a woman the other night. Nick and the team were called over to Grace Mukami's home where they found two men had drugged and raped this young woman. Dr. Oronje tried to flush out the poison with milk. Pray for the people of Munyaka slums! Pounded by poverty, joblessness, corruption, and AIDS, the desperation levels are high. Pray that our team there will be kind and loving instruments of the body of Christ.
At the beginning of the month, people arrived at the office for assistance. We primarily help families dealing with HIV/AIDS, children who need sponsored, and 5 ladies in the Sex Worker Recovery program (Renew). Some of the ladies, along with SCF workers Edna and Agrapina are pictured below.
The beginning of the month is also a day of excitement where those in the program receive small food allowances, clothes, uniforms, school assistance, and this month - Grace Mukami got a real mattress for her family of four.
