this is Pamela; she is in 5th grade.  She is an orphan.  People in the impoverished community contributed money until they could make her a dress.  Thanks to my Synagogue, Pamela is sponsored and can now go to school.

Sponsorship is the ultimate gift of HOPE.
“Give and it is you who shall receive.” HOPE makes a difference. That is exactly how Matanya’s Hope feels about each one of the precious students in our program! We are so humbled for each one of you who’s unselfish actions have helped make a way for those in desperate need.

Matanya’s Hope is passionate about loving these children every day as best as we can. Because of your compassion and support, HOPE is being received through education and as one of the greatest gifts these children have ever received! Thank you! The stories we share are stories that you made possible through sponsorship and Changing the World ONE CHILD AT A TIME!

DONATE A BLANKET

Through Matanya’s Hope, not only are the physical needs of our children being met, but we are sharing the gift of HOPE…of prayer…and of love with human beings across the globe. This world becomes very special. People across the globe are knitted together through the gift of love.

Our blanket donors have not only created a legacy of warmth for these children, but they have delivered the message of HOPE and LOVE with each blanket! ONE KNOT AT A TIME… these fleece blankets are amde from recycled plastic. Therefore, they are excellent in retaining body heat, something so valuable to anyone trying to sleep on a cold night. You may not find the villages we visit on a map, but infrared will surely pick up the new-found warmth in homes across Kenya’s terrain.

SEND A PAIR OF SHOES

Imagine I had no good shoes and now I have these!  Thank you!

Imagine I had no good shoes and now I have these! Thank you!

I am constantly amazed by the goodness of people through the gift of SOLES to SOULS. I’ve witnessed God’s blessings through thousands of new or gently used shoes, labeled, packed in boxes and finally delivered to Matanya’s Hope recipients across Kenya.

It takes a compassionate heart… empathy… and the desire to do something beyond self to make this world a better place like you are doing! Most children where we serve have little more than a torn pair of pants/skirt and a top. Until recently, few had the privileged access to so much as a jacket. Affordability challenged the very basic comforts of life. Thank you for your support. Through your donations to Matanya’s Hope, so many more children are being clothed in your child’s hand-me-downs and are now walking to school in the comfort of shoes! Amazing!

PROVIDE SCHOOL SUPPLIES FOR A CHILD IN NEED

It’s one thing to travel across the globe to Kenya and quite another to travel with a purpose beyond self. Much thanks to Matanya’s Hope Donors, we are so excited to deliver thousands of pencils, crayons, markers, erasers and other school supplies to our children in need.

Many of you may not realize, but one of the greatest joys is placing a pencil in the hands of a child and watching them light up with joy….or watching a child color with crayons and markers for the first time in their life!

During our last mission, our team met a young girl named Rachel. She was orphaned and lived with her elderly, jobless grandmother. Rachel often went without food to eat. She had no shoes. Neighbors got together to purchase enough material to make her a simple dress. Rachel slept on a dirt floor and covered herself with the same clothes she wore…to sleep…and to wear…day after day.

It is donations like yours which made it possible for Matanya’s Hope to bless Rachel with a blanket, school supplies, clothes…. and HOPE. We are actively seeking a sponsor for this precious 5th grade child. ONE SPECIAL FAMILY / PERSON will change the world for this little girl!

FEED A SCHOOL 1 HOT MEAL A DAY FOR A YEAR FOR ONLY 6 CENTS A DAY PER CHILD!

Hot Nutritious Porridge is made from locally grown grains and is cooked daily to feed more than 850  students.

As soon as our mission team saw the hunger and dehydration which ravaged so many children of rural Kenya, we knew we could do something to help. Through your donations, we have been able to feed almost 1,000 hungry children every day of school! Through the gift of Micronutrients, we have been able to assure that 1,500 children get every vitamin and mineral they need on a daily basis.

Children are coming to school to eat. In exchange for this marvelous gift, they are learning and are growing stronger by the day. Schools are reporting that children are rarely missing school due to sickness and are demonstrating increasing stamina and alertness. These donations are nothing short of a miracle…and an answered prayer. Thank you for your hearts!

It costs only 6 cents a day to feed one child!!!

DONATE A CHICKEN AND PROVIDE FOOD AND SUSTAINABILITY FOR AN ENTIRE FAMILY!

Thanks to Kelly, several families received the gift of chickens during Christmas this year!

What a privilege it is to be the heart and the eyes which get to witness loving these children. Your gifts help to transform a hurting world to a world of hope and wonder. These gifts don’t erase being orphaned or poor … but they do bring hope and that is a huge part of the answer to these people’s prayers!

The gift of chickens enables families to harvest nutritional eggs not only for consumption, but also for sale. Sometimes this gift enables a family to earn a living for the first time in their lives.

Chickens are a remarkable gift that doesn’t cost much but provides a family with the gift of life!

We believe even greater things are going to take place this mission!
