David Servant takes you inside an indescribable Kenyan slum…

It's difficult to describe Nairobi's Mathare slum, because there is nothing to which it can be compared where you and I live. But try to imagine 500,000 people crammed into a hillside community of tens of thousands of tiny shacks clad with rusted pieces of corrugated metal. They are akin to structures where you might store old tires that you would never plan on using again. Imagine just a few water pumps and public outhouses to serve all those people. Imagine the stench of open sewage and rotting garbage permeating the air. That's Mathare.

Letter from a 6th-Grade Graduate

Besides food, the one thing that impoverished people around the world desire for their children is an education. They know that education is their children's only hope to escape the cycle of poverty. In many developing nations, however, public education is not free. Consequently, we receive many requests for tuition assistance.

Opportunity from Heaven

Opportunities. More than anything else, that is what the poor around the world lack. An opportunity to gain a valuable education, a marketable skill, employment, tools for a trade, or a loan to start a business can make the difference between poverty and prosperity. That is why Heaven's Family works to provide, through our numerous focused funds, various opportunities to the "least of these" among Christ's followers. Opportunities give the poor a chance to help themselves through their own efforts.

One Child Left Behind

Jairus Wanyama could not read this sentence. That's because he attended a public school in Kenya where the student-teacher ratio is 100 to 1. Although Kenya provides all of its children with free primary education, the government can't afford the number of teachers that are actually needed. Consequently, many students like Jairus are lost in the crowd and left behind.
