Zainabu – Successfully Completed

Zainabu We heard that there was a young widow with a small child who was in trouble and needed help so we went out to check on her.   She was alone after the death of her parents.  She was living in a small unsafe room with a large hole in the wall.  It was a small dark, rough cement room with no electricity.  We could barely see to one side of trhe room.  She cooked with a small charcoal cooker.   She was severely depressed and we told her to please find a church and find some friends.  We bought her food and were able to see that she had very little food.  We have put Zainabu into the MAP program and have built a chicken coop for her and bought her 40 chickens.  We will buy food for the chickens for 6 months.  After that time we hope she is able to take over buying the food.   Her chicken/egg business costs $550.

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
James 1:27 (NIV)
