We have just completed an in-depth evaluation of the Turning Point Finance Programme,offering microfinance to the very poorest in Kibera. We are excited to share what we have learnt so far so we are making the PDF available right here!

In February, 4 year old Mary joined our
Mashimoni Project. We took her in after lots of local
community members pleaded with us to help her.
Her mother is a drunkard and Mary is frequently beaten;
some neighbours even claim they saw the mother
physically throw her out of the window once. Often Mary
is locked out of the house for the whole day with
nowhere to go and no food or water. She's severely
malnourished and her health is in very bad condition. Perhaps what is saddest of all, is that she has missed
out on crucial early childhood development and, after
watching her in the playground during break time, it
is soon apparent she has no idea how to interact with
other children. Luckily, now she's at Turning Point, all
of that will change. The staff will work with her family,
trying to address the problems at home, she'll
get breakfast and lunch through the Feeding Programme.
Most importantly, she'll be given lots of love and attention
by everyone at the projects and she'll learn all about
the love that Jesus has for her too.
