School Backpacks Distribution
Our team in East Africa, spearheaded by OP Regional Manager Esther Kariuki, were recently able to visit a small town in Kenya with some wonderful gifts.
Just over 200 miles from Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, lies the small town of Taveta. Orphan’s Promise partner project Taveta Children’s Assistance (TCA) has been working with many of the town’s most vulnerable, providing over 200 children with food every week as well as sharing the gospel with them through Superbook. Not only does TCA meet practical needs, but they are also committed to helping with education.
Basic items and equipment for learning are not easy to come by in Taveta and can be costly. But through our incredible Orphan’s Promise partners and friends, we have been able to supply backpacks to the children containing all the necessary equipment for their school day.
Esther Kariuki, our OP Regional Manager for East Africa, was able to deliver the backpacks, filled with grade appropriate school supplies for each child. She said,
“Backpacks provide children in need with a sense of normalcy. No child should have to go to class feeling embarrassed to have to ask their teacher to borrow a pencil or piece of paper.”
“I am glad that Orphan’s Promise was able to meet this need for these children.”

Kenya isn’t the only place that has been able to bless local communities with school supplies. Our Orphan’s Promise teams across Latin America have also had the opportunity to invest into the futures of many children through this initiative, including a back to school project in Costa Rica.
