Nairobi Hope Center partnered with Community Baptist Church-Ruiru to host a 7-day Vacation Bible School with 70 children. The theme focused on Samson’s journey in Judges. We rejoice as 8 boys gave their lives to Christ & will continue their discipleship at the local church!
Thanks to our amazing pastor & volunteers, the kids enjoyed Bible-based activities, devotions, & study time. We continue to reflect on the call in Matthew 19:14, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven”.
The Children's Club of 'Friends of Peru' was created to provide a safe space for children in Totoral, San Jerónimo, and Andahuaylas to learn values through biblical stories and sports. Despite challenges with limited resources and staffing shortages, the dedicated team has made an incredible impact in just four months, gaining the community's trust and inspiring the children to engage and even lead in prayer. The children have shown improved behavior and social skills, strengthening their relationship with their parents. As more families recognize the club's benefits, enrollment continues to grow.
We're proud to expand our reach through a new agreement with Aldea 'Virgen de Cocharcas,' extending our support to even more children—a significant accomplishment for the club.
KAH had our school reopening ceremony! Robenson, Haiti's Country Director, expressed words of gratitude to the staff and reminded them not to give up on their work. He said: "I encourage you to continue to approach this mission with passion and patience despite the challenges." For this school year, we have 250 students, from preschool to grade 9, and 22 teachers, including 26 new students from displaced families supported earlier this year.
At Kids Alive Guatemala, we believe every child deserves to live life in family and community, free of fear and violence. This summer, our staff participated in an impactful role-playing workshop at Oasis, led by Sara Ruano from ACH (Alianza Cristiana para los Huérfanos). This ongoing training helps our dedicated team stay attuned to the complexities of the protection system in Guatemala, while reinforcing a dual perspective—keeping both the child's and family's viewpoints in focus. It also deepens the knowledge of staff who may not regularly interact with courts and families, enhancing their ability to provide empathetic and holistic care. We remain committed to empowering children through understanding and holistic support.
Each school year, Kids Alive Dominican Republic leadership visits our schools for a kick-off meeting. There is a devotion time, ice breaking games, affirmations of dedication and service, a ministry progress report, and benefits updates—all with the intention of unifying and encouraging our dedicated workers. We even have a raffle at the end, with prizes like mops, brooms, Kids Alive t-shirts, extension cords, chocolate, and coffee.
This year’s devotion focused on the shadow that each worker ultimately casts each day on the children we serve. As disciples, Christ’s power is transferred via the Holy Spirit to His workers, who ultimately help transform others in various ways. We studied Acts 15:9, where Peter’s shadow is literally healing the sick and reflected on our work to teach, heal both physical and emotional wounds, and protect children from harm and evil. We also take time to thank God for the opportunity we have to serve together for His glory.
We love this tradition and count it as a privilege to work together, even in the most challenging of circumstances at times.
Meet Janet (pseudonym)! Janet was a child in Chikondi Village with Kids Alive Zambia. After being a part of the program with Kids Alive, she was later reunited with her family and through support from donors, she enrolled in a university graduating with a bachelor's degree in education. She is now passing along the impact she received to others! Education helps unlock the potential for leading a life of independence and service and we can't wait to see the impact Janet makes on her path ahead!
You can help support a child like Janet on their journey to healing and impact. Become a Safe Haven Champion today!
As Lebanon faces violence and uncertainty, the Kids Alive Lebanon office staff gathers to pray for the country, the children and families in our care, and for our team as we navigate these challenging times. We invite you to join us in praying for the same and for wisdom as we move forward.
Here are a few recent updates we are excited to share! Despite the current crisis, we continue to push ahead in our mission. Our school year has begun, with 168 students currently registered.
Due to the ongoing circumstances, we’ve adapted our schedule to help keep the kids safe and supported. We are excited to be able to provide education and a sense of normalcy for the children, even amidst the bombings and unrest. Please keep praying for peace and safety.
The KAL team has also resumed our Women's Ministry after a two-month summer break! Over 50 women attended our first meeting, which included games, Bible study, prayer, and welcoming new members. Our Women's Ministry (the Lighthouse Ministry) reaches entire families by offering literacy classes, Bible studies, and practical skills training in baking and sewing. Through this ministry, many women have come to know the Lord, which is our ultimate hope.
Our KAL team continues to passionately serve the community and is adapting to all of the changes that have been coming their way. Thank you for standing with us in prayer as we continue supporting Lebanon’s children, families, and communities during these difficult times.
