INTRODUCTION

Rev. Moses and Mary Mwangi Memorial Girls' Home is a special project under Deliverance Church in honor and memory of our very dear friends and co-workers in ministry, the late Rev. Moses and Mary Mwangi. The couple was promoted to glory through a traggic road accident on the night of 21st October 2004 along the Nairobi - Nakuru Highway. This special project is dedicated to them for devoting their lives to the service of our Lord, Jesus Christ and to those around them.

Pastor Mary flowed very well in Benevolence and Mercy Ministry. Notably, she discovered the Kasarani slums in Elburgon where poverty, promiscuity, diseases and unemployment are prevalent. In exercising her gifting, as many as were hurting and needing a shoulder to cry on found so much help and support from her.

BACKGROUND OF THE PROBLEM

Elburgon, where the Girls' home is being put up is located 40 minutes drive, West of Nakuru town. For a long time its inhabitants lived on farming and sale of timber from forests until the government itroduced a ban on the cutting of trees in the recent past resulting to the closure of many sawmills and rendering many inhabitants jobless. The displacement of farmers cultivating forest land brought in a high rate of poverty. All these led to promiscuity in the area and the HIV/AIDS pandemic has hit the place real hard. The result is a rapid increase of children orphaned by AIDS victims.

While in ministry, Pastor Mary organized for visits to the area with the L.C.C. pastoral team and family members. They offered foodstuffs and clothes to families in the area and also shared the message of God's love with them. A survey into the situation at Elburgon reflected that girls are more vulnerable and most affected by the scourge. Due to the harsh economic condition due to unemployment, they end up getting involved in commercial sex and earn as little as five shillings.

This memorial home will take in young girls orphaned by AIDS victims; those that are living in harsh conditions. Most of them are left under the care of their grandparents upon the death of their parents. They do not have access to education, food and clothing. The girls' home shall endevour to provide these needs to these girls. We believe that one of the ways of cubbing the HIV/AIDS pandemic in the area is advocating for behavioural change in the society. This can be achieved by providing for these girls to enable them to live moral lives.

PROGRESS

After several months of continous construction work at the site, the building is finally up! Most of the work has been done and we bless the Lord for His faithfulness. Part of what is remaining is the roof, the windows, doors, plastering of walls and painting. We are trusting God that it won't be long before these tasks are completed and we have the girls move into their new home.

DEDICATION OF THE MEMORIAL HOME

On 10th July 2005, Bishop Mark Kariuki together with the president of Eagle's Wings Charity Organization in the UK, Bruce and Sharon Oliver officially dedicated the building that is meant to house ophaned girls in Elburgon to the Lord. Before unveilng the plake, Mr. Oliver shared his vision for the Home. His prayer is that the home shall not only provide shelter and basic needs to the girls, but it shall be a place where the girls will get to know and experience God and above all discover who they are and the potential within them. Out of that home shall come great evangelists, pastors, business persons, doctors and people who shall excel in various disciplines.

OUR VISION

Upon the completion of the Girl's Home in Elburgon, we're moving on to put up a Boy's Home in Nakuru's Pipeline Area. This is a home that will house ophaned boys as well as street boys. We are trusting God that the work shall start soon.

By establishing these Homes, we believe that they'll form a good platform for creating HIV/AIDS awareness and addressing the issues that fuel its spread as well as assisting orphaned children acquire education and skills to enable them arrive at their aspirations and dreams; giving them a hopeful future and finally enabling them become productive and reliable citizens with the fear of God.

SUPPORT THIS NOBLE TASK

We are trusting God that this Memorial Home will be ready for the girls to move in soon. We are grateful to Bruce and Sharon Oliver for their support towards the same. We need your prayer and support to help in the completion of these noble tasks. Your support will go a long way in assisting an orphaned needy girl in the sprawling Kasarani slum area in Elburgon or an ophaned boy. We know that by providing for their basic needs, we'll have saved them from contracting the HIV virus and not only that but our desire is to help them discover their purpose in God and work towards fulfilling it because there are dreams and visions in them that are yet to be discovered.
