Rita, Kwaku and Juliet’s father died when Rita was barely six years old. His family rejected him and their mother had to bury him alone. So, six years later, when their mother also died, Rita and her five other siblings had no one to turn to from the father’s family. And, as if things were not bad enough for them, their mother’s sister, who traditionally should have cared for the children, also shirked her responsibility.

The children had no one to care for them.  There was no food and no income.  Life became unbearable. Something had to be done.  Fearing for the welfare and safety of Rita and her siblings, the Minister of their mother’s church offered to care for all of them in his own house so that he could properly supervise them. The man of God soon realised, however, that it would take more than just the desire to meet even the basic needs of the children. He sold some of his most cherished things, but still could not meet more than a fraction of their needs.  His plight became desperate and he sought the assistance of the Village of Hope.

By the Grace of God, not only Rita was admitted but also three of her siblings were given the same opportunity.

For six wonderful years Rita, Kwaku and Juliet have enjoyed the love and care of the Village of Hope. Now they are ready to move on to higher education and we have to find the finances to help them.  If you could sponsor one or all of them so that they might further their education then they would be blessed, but you also would find a great blessing from our Father in heaven.
