Gift Ideas for Christmas Giving

Hello friends, I wanted to give you an opportunity to see the Gift Catalogue for the Missions of Hope.  These gifts might help you if you are still in need of Christmas gift ideas.  For sure if you buy something from this catalogue, it will help the very need here, in  Kenya. God bless!


Orphan & Family Needs

$155 to $205 US - School Fees per Boarding student
$25 US School Uniforms per student
$15 US School Shoes per student
$25-50 US monthly for Orphan support
$55 US Family Support





 

Farm Animals





$5 US per chicken
$6 US per rooster
 

Just a few hens can help provide eggs and chicks to raise poultry for sale.




$55 US for one goat ($50) + vet inspection ($5)

A goat can provide milk and if two goats of opposite sex are purchased, can provide a simple livelihood for a family.






$800-$1000 US for one high grade cow


A good cow gives quality milk for consumption and for sale.

8 or 10 donors can help to purchase 1 cow.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 





Agriculture

 

 



$120 - $250 US for seeds & fertilizer per growing season   For several years, Missions of Hope
has planted communal crops (corn, cabbages, potatoes) and given out the
harvest to the widows and orphans.  We were unable to do this in the
Jan.- March 2011 planting season.  Instead each farmer must find
adequate funds for planting. Help us to help them, with the planting in
Jan.-Mar. 2011.
