As followers of Jesus, we are called to serve and care for those in need, especially the most vulnerable among us. For many years, Berwyn UMC has collaborated with the Children and Youth Empowerment Centre (CYEC) in Kenya, supporting their life-changing work with highly vulnerable young people in Nyeri and the surrounding communities. Over 150 children and youth benefit from their care, and their outreach activities touch many more.
However, CYEC has recently observed an increase in hunger in their community, and they are responding to this challenge by sharing their limited resources with local families in need. As a church community, we can join them in this effort and make a significant impact on the lives of those facing hunger in Kenya.
The CYEC is now seeking to establish a food pantry and eventually a community garden to provide sustainable food sources for those facing hunger in their community. With just $750, we can help CYEC establish the program by preparing a room, building shelves, and stocking essential food items. Additionally, Berwyn UMC plans to provide $75 per month to sustain the program.
