I am happy to report again on the current situation at the GOA Children Home Beat The Drum.
Looking back, I am very grateful for the “water miracle” that Jesus revealed to me in February 2024. In May 2024, I organised a borehole to a depth of 170 m, where the long-awaited water source for the home was actually found (see The Water Miracle of Mai Mahiu).
A lot has happened in the meantime. More vegetable gardens have been planted in the various children’s homes. Mangoes, avocados, strawberries and apples now enrich the menu.
The Beat The Drum children’s home is benefiting from the ongoing Plant and Eat project with new fruit trees and more vegetable seedlings. This has improved the nutritional situation there.
I regularly receive reports from our friend Peter Muchiri about the other children’s homes, where it has become possible to plant significantly more and more varied vegetables. In addition, more stables have been built for chickens, goats, sheep and cows, also with your help.
The Plant and Eat project will run until the end of 2025 and has been very successful. I am very grateful for your support during this time. After that, it remains to be seen whether and which projects will follow.
On my next trip to Kenya, I will evaluate the development with Peter. In any case, the foundations for better nutrition in the children’s homes have now been laid.
Fortunately, GOA Switzerland has been active in Kenya for many years. The director, Rebekka Wehrli, whom I highly recommend, is doing excellent work.
New information will be available in December. In the meantime, I wish you all the best and thank you very much for your support!
