Immediate Needs: $135,000
At age 15, Rose Wanjiku, a student at Batian Secondary School, lost her parents and was left to the mercy of well-wishers when her own extended family was unable or unwilling to care for her and her two brothers.
Providing assistance with school fees and other needs, the Vincentians intervened to assist Rose, her siblings, and her caretaker, a family friend who was already struggling to provide for herself and her own family.
In Kenya and Uganda, young people like Rose struggle every day in a challenging econonic environment, often with no safety net when tragedy strikes a family.
