| There are two million orphans in Kenya, an East African country of about 30 million people. Some of these children can be found in Mathare Valley, the pit of heartbreak and despair and home to some 600,000 people within six square miles of Nairobi, Kenya. At the bottom of this human heap of misery are abandoned babies; AIDS orphans cowering in abusive relative's homes; and ragged street kids sniffing glue to escape hunger—physical and emotional. Many will enter and leave the world here, perpetuating a vicious cycle of generational poverty and hopelessness. |

From the heart of this relentless suffering, Kenyan Pastor Jepson Karau and his wife, Edith, Hope's Promise co-country coordinators, plucked out eleven orphans from the most desperate situations and enfolded them into a home and family. From two-year-old Eva to seven-year-old Geoffrey, eleven previously forgotten little ones are now treasured beyond their wildest dreams.
