Abraham and his family are new members of the Giving Hope program in Kenya. He is a beautiful 16 year old boy, with amazing humility, gratitude, and faith in God.

ZOE received a wonderful letter from Abraham. Read his letter of thanks.

Through the Giving Hope Program, Abraham has started a business raising plants and vegetables in order to support his family, which consists of two brothers and a sister.

After both parents died, his sister moved away to live with a relative, and the brothers lived in a very small, mud shack, sharing a small bed. Their house was about 150 square feet, had mud floors, and was often wet on the inside.

Abraham and his family were chosen to receive a new home.  They worked with a ZOE Team and others in the community and completed a home which will shelter the three brothers and their sister.

After much hard work, Abraham shared that in his lifetime, he “never dreamed that he would live in a house with a concrete floor.”
