The Value of $50
$50 a month. It won’t buy much in the U.S. these days…a couple of pizza’s delivered to your door, a few trips to Starbucks, a bottle of water after a work out.
In Kenya it’s a completely different story. $50 a month or $600 a year, will help a whole heap of people who desperately need assistance. For instance it will build 1 1/2 Houses with Hope (Yes, they only cost $400 each!), sustain an orphan lunch program for one year, or treat a hundred people who contract malaria.
The impact of these three things alone is astounding. Protecting people from the elements prevents a lot of illnesses, even death, and much needed security and stability to children and families. Lunch programs provide what is usually the only meal a lot of orphans get all day long, and a simple antibiotic effectively fights malaria.
Contrast that with a 30 billion dollar pizza industry, over priced cups of caffeine, and millions of plastic water bottles occupying space in landfills across the country.
I wish you could see the faces of people when they get a roof over their heads after years of being homeless; the eyes of children light up when they look into a bowl of rice and beans, and the relief of a young mother whose baby is saved by an antibiotic which costs only five dollars.
In my many years working on behalf of orphans and destitute families in Africa, I have found that once Americans are aware of a need, they respond both compassionately and generously.
I believe many of you will prove me right and forgo a few Caramel Latte’s every month to give children and families in Kenya desperately needed help and hope.
Please take a few minutes and go to www.houseswithhope.org today and sign up to give $50 or more each month to help the charitable work being done by Houses with Hope throughout Kenya and the Continent of Africa.
