Hi everyone i trust you are all well.i run an organization called longisa beacon of hope that strives to empower women and girls.Am based in Baringo county of Kenya.This is a county that its people live below poverty index.Close to half of its population is illiterate and dont take children to school.They still practice harmful cultural practices like female genital mutilation and early marriages leading to early teen pregnancies.The county suffers frequent banditry attacks that leads to populations being displaced from their residents as a result of killings by bandits.This in turn disrupts learning continuity .People put up in Internally Displaced People (IDP) camps where women and children suffer alot.They miss on essential commodities like sanitary pads,water .We have also witnessed cases of rape metted on women and girls.This same county has got high rates of underweight children as a result of poor feeding habits.Such children attend school and they perform poorly because they are not well nourished.The people of baringo requires religous services and encouragement to take their children to school.Am humbly requesting for their assistance and christian outreach services.I know it will leave a lasting solution.I also take this opportunity to invite you to google about Baringo Kenya for more information.please reach me for more information and welcome to kenya
