KENYA ORPHAN EMPOWERMENT: UPDATE A big THANK YOU to everyone who has partnered with us to help us reach our financial goal. Your financial and prayerful support is empowering orphans to change their lives and their communities! Here is the story of two children in Kenya, Moses and Hemma, who have followed different paths during their three years in ZOE’s empowerment program. However, their journeys end in the same place: access to a nutritious and sustainable source of food for themselves and their younger siblings. You are now a part of this success! Thank you! Visit ZOEHelps.org/two-paths-to-food-security/ to read the stories of Moses and Hemma, and to see just how much your help goes toward empowering the lives of these orphans!
