Mathilda

A widow, Matilda, has been in the MAP program at Neema Village for about 6 months living in the Jeffrey Scott May MAP houses. Her husband died when she was pregnant with her little girl. The oldest child, Bryton, has TB of the bones. He can’t sit, bend, walk, or sit on a potty and he rolls to get where he wants to go. But he loves Jesus and can sing. Matilda has been the encouragement for other young women coming into the MAP program. She now has a business making bags so it was time to be on her on. Anna, Kim and I had the joy of moving her to her new home yesterday. We will support her for six months until she gets her business going. You can help women like Mathilda by supporting the MAP program at Neema Village


Orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names. They are easier to ignore before you see their faces. It is easier to pretend they’re not real before you hold them in your arms. But once you do, everything changes.
