As the long holiday draws to an end, students and trainees are preparing to report back with all the required documents by 5th September. Thats is why we have been running up and down to make sure that all are set before the deadline.For many, this marks the beginning of a new chapter in their academic and professional journey.

Rodrick is among those who sat for their KCSE exams last year, and he has not wasted his time while waiting. During the break, he trained in welding and fabrication at a local workshop, gaining both skills and discipline that will serve him well in the future. Now, the time has come for him—and many of his peers—to take the next step as they prepare to join college(Siaya National Polytechnic) this September.

For Rodrick, this step is particularly exciting. He has been enrolled to pursue a Diploma in ICT Technician, a course that will open new opportunities and shape his career path. The enrollment day was successful, and he is now making preparations to begin his studies. The journey ahead requires commitment and resources, but we believe that God, who has brought him this far, will not let him down.

Rodrick’s story is a reminder that determination, patience, and faith can carry us through every stage of life.

Please support this boy achieve his dreams.He really wants to be somebody in 18 months from now till when he will be graduating.

In Siaya County, Mama Rose, a widow, has for years used an old, unsafe latrine that risked spreading diseases like cholera and typhoid.

I have taken the step to build her a new, safe, and clean latrine. The work is underway, with the structure now standing, but she will have to wait until it is fully plastered and finished before she can use it.

For Mama Rose, this is not just a toilet – it is a step towards health, dignity, and safety.

The Struggles Faced by Widows Like Rose

While the law is clear, the reality in rural areas is different. Many widows, especially those without stable income, cannot afford to build or repair a toilet. The cost of materials like timber, iron sheets, and cement is high. This forces some to use nearby bushes, which exposes them to shame, snake bites, or even assault – especially at night.

Others, like Mama Rose, are forced to continue using old, unsafe pit latrines that can collapse or leak into water sources. For these women, the challenge is not ignorance, but poverty.

Why This Matters

By building Mama Rose a new latrine, Am  not just preventing diseases – but   restoring dignity and hope. Sanitation is a basic human right, and no one should be denied it because of financial hardship.

When this new latrine is finally completed, it will stand as a symbol of care, faith in action, and the belief that good health begins with simple but vital changes. For Mama Rose, it will be a fresh chapter – one where she can live with the dignity and safety every person deserves.

This August, I’m thankful once again for the opportunity to support the girls in our church with sanitary pads. It’s something small, yet it means so much—dignity, comfort, and the freedom to focus on their studies and spiritual growth without unnecessary struggle.

Some of the girls couldn’t make it to church today as they’re preparing for their National exams. I truly understand, and I’m proud of their commitment. I’ve made sure their packs will still reach them.

To every girl in our church family: you are seen, valued, and supported—not just with words, but in action. May God guide you this month and give you success, especially those sitting for exams.

Let’s keep encouraging and uplifting each other.

A new day has begun.I thank God for his mercies that has enabled us to reach this new month.Today,i still managed to put a smile on these 2 widows.They were so grateful and thanked God for the gifts.Wishing all my friends and happy new month too.
