Sponsor A Child

Name: Ikoone

Country: Kenya

Birthday: 05/15/2020

Kyle is a jovial young boy who comes from the northern part of Kenya, Turkana county. He lives with his mother and father. He also has one brother and one sister. They live in a palm thatched mud hut smeared with mud in a communal land. They fetch water from a community seasonal bore hole whose water is not enough. His mother is the primary care giver of the family. The family depends on charcoal and firewood selling activity. They also practice small scale farming as an income supplementation project. However, the annual income derived from this economic activity is below 360 US dollars which is not enough to support family basic needs. His mother decided to approach the office seeking for further assistance. Kyle is enrolled in a nearby school where he enjoys numbers and counting activity. While at home, he likes playing football with his friends. He would like to become a police officer when he grows up.  Additionally, Kyle helps his parents in fetching water and washing utensils. Your support will bring a lasting change to his life and the family. 

Ending child poverty begins with Ikoone. It’s easy. It’s impactful.
