Sometimes he had to bring food for the family. In despair, Enoch ended up on drugs. Through tears during our May camp, he gave his life to Christ and stopped taking drugs.

Emily Oriwo, 24, College
​
Mom: Abandoned
Brother: Steve, Cliff, Mike, Austin
Sister: None
Steve was 17 and Emily was 15 when their parents abandoned them in the slum to return to their village in 2015. Out of desperation to go to school, Emily began selling herself. Thankfully, we found Steve and Emily in early 2016 and rescued them.
After we helped Emily finish high school and a year of vocational training in food and beverages, she opened a small business that supported her for two years. She also attended school part-time with her profits. Then the riots came. This March during a political demonstration, all her stock was stolen, and she had nothing remaining. Much of the area was ravaged.
​
Now we want to assist Emily with her remaining eight months at a renowned international school in Nairobi for food and barista training. If you meet, she will be able to make you a great cappuccino.
