Covered with Cow Hides to Stay Dry

In rural Kenya, Alima, a widowed mother, lives with her children in a cramped and crumbling mud house.

This house is no longer enough for me and my children. We don’t all fit on the bed, so the children sleep beside the fireplace, on sheets laid on the floor. The smoke irritates our throats and eyes. When it rains, it leaks and everything gets soaked.  My heart is very troubled because of how we suffer, but what can I do? The little I earn from working on the farms barely covers my children’s basic needs.”  - Alima

Despite her struggles, Alima kept holding onto hope.

“I prayed constantly. I told God, “Look at this house, you are my only hope.  Lord, do a miracle, and give us a better place to live, because by myself, I can’t.” – Alima

When Operation Blessing learned about Alima’s situation, your generosity helped build her a new house so her family could have a warm, safe home.

“What a big difference we have experienced! We moved in on a Friday and the very next day it rained but this time, we stayed dry. We don’t feel the cold anymore. We have enough blankets, and the children each have their own beds and room where they sleep without smoke from the fire bothering them.  I have my own room and bed too. Now even when I come home tired, I have a good place to sleep and rest. We are all comfortable and very very happy. Thank you, Operation Blessing. You’ve helped me and my children more than words can say. May the good Lord bless you!” - Alima
