AMJM, Kenya
Age: 9
At nine years old, Wesley was living in a terrifying situation. Local authorities, who had been monitoring an escalating case of severe abuse and neglect in his home, were forced to intervene. They feared for his life and immediately notified our staff at the Rebirth Children's Home.
For years, Wesley endured escalating abuse and deprivation. Now, thanks to the swift action of local police and the dedicated staff of Rebirth Children’s Home and Kenya Now Organization, Wesley is safe, cared for, and no longer hungry. Wesley’s story is a profound reminder of the dire circumstances faced by many vulnerable children in Western Kenya. The memory of Tamu, a former three year old student who tragically lost her life due to similar conditions, fuels our commitment to identify and rescue children like Wesley. His safety is Tamu’s legacy.
Today, Wesley is adjusting to his new life at the Rebirth Academy. He loves playing with his new adopted family and will be working hard to catch up on the schooling he missed. Your sponsorship will make the difference between a life of fear and a future full of promise. By sponsoring Wesley, you directly cover the costs of his housing, nutritious meals, and quality education. Help us ensure Wesley never faces abuse or neglect again. Sponsor Wesley today and give him the security and hope he deserves.
