KOST funding provides new shoes and clothes for children

There are times when nearly all KOST’s children are around the Children’s Home together. This is when students come back with their school reports and discuss forthcoming requirements with the staff. It is a busy time, there are always meals in the making, news to share and problems to iron out. These teenagers are too old to live with the younger children and are growing up KOST supported elsewhere.

All our children received new clothes and shoes recently and for some this meant an accompanied visit to the markets to choose their own things. Homa Bay is a friendly place, situated right next to Lake Victoria. It is hot, dusty, noisy and full of people walking everywhere. You may commonly come across ladies carrying bananas on their heads, motor cycles carrying several passengers swerving round pedestrians, goats or chickens in the road, children in bright uniforms, African music and the smell of fires.

The KOST Children’s Home is set a short way out of town on the new, main highway at Makongeni. It is the KOST nerve centre and it is from here that all our assistance to the children emanates.
