Milestones

Letters from Sponsored Students

In August 2022, we received the following letter from this grateful student who has been sponsored with us since 2017!

Glasses for Student in Need

In July 2022, we learned this Kenya student was falling behind in school because he needed prescription glasses.  We are happy to share HHI was able to bless him with the necessary eyewear!

Saturday Feeding Program

In May and June 2022, we continued to bless children through our new Saturday Feeding program!

Triplets

In March 2022, we learned one of our Rakwaro, Kenya families welcomed the arrival of triplets! 

Saturday Feeding Program

In March 2022, HHI announced that we will be feeding 1,600 students each week at the Mcedo Beijing School, Bethany Education Center and Destiny Junior Academy in Nairobi, Kenya starting in April.  

Children Receive Gospel & Food

Students in Rawkawro, Kenya continue to receive the good news of the gospel, and food, every Sunday!

Weekly Food Distribution

HHI distributes approximately 7 days worth of lunches

to students each week in Rakwaro, Kenya!

New Shoes

Children at the Bethany Children School in India received new shoes!   

History

Rakwaro, Kenya

The HHI Child Sponsorship Program started with children from the Rakwaro, Kenya village.  While the quality of this 2019 trip video is not great, the strong, sweet voices of the children our Volunteers went to visit is clear: "We are so happy to welcome you to our school.  Our guest, you know we love you!"

Andhra Pradesh, India

In 2020, the Lord opened an opportunity for HHI to expand the Child Sponsorship program into Andhra Pradesh, India.  This trip video shows the children at the Bethany Children's Home during our scouting trip in 2019.  If you would like to sponsor one of these children, please see the children above who have a "#I" in front of their sponsorship number.

Nairobi, Kenya

In 2021, HHI was asked if we would support 38 children from the Bethany Education Centre (BEC) in the Kawangware slum and 5 children from the Destiny Junior Academy (DJA) in the Mathare slum of Nairobi, Kenya.  BEC serves about 650 students, feeds the children a hot breakfast and lunch (which for most students is the only meal they receive during the day), and teaches about Jesus on a daily basis.  As of March 2022, we announced a new Saturday Feed Program in Nairobi, which is expected to feed 1,600 students (from Mcedo Beijing School, BEC and DJA) each week, which is >80k meals by the end of the year!
