Mikinduri Children of Hope

Chalice, formerly known as Christian Child Care International (CCCI), and the Mikinduri Children of Hope (MCoH) are excited to announce that we are combining resources relieve poverty and hunger in Mikinduri, Kenya.

Chalice is an independent Canadian Catholic Sponsorship Organization with headquarters in Nova Scotia. Chalice sponsors over 39,000 children at 46 sponsor sites in 15 countries around the world regardless of race, creed or religion. The charity strives to alleviate the effects of poverty by offering an effective and trustworthy sponsorship program that reflects God’s love and mercy in the world.

We are indeed fortunate to be able to form a great partnership with Chalice. A few months ago we opened a joint office in Mikinduri and hired the necessary support staff. Their immediate responsibility after setting up the office was to begin the task of selecting the neediest children. To date an excess of 300 child records have been prepared for sponsorship. Of the 300, I am delighted to confirm that already 70 of the children have new sponsors who donate $33.00 per month. The funds are very rigorously tracked by child, with money being allocated to such areas as education, nutrition, healthcare, clothing and family/community support.

Anyone wishing to sponsor a child may do so by phoning Chalice directly at 1-800-776-6855, or by going online to www.chalice.ca. Please indicate that you wish to sponsor a child in Mikinduri, Kenya. Together we can continue the fight against poverty and bring hope to the children of Mikinduri.
