New Beginnings Orphanage

New Beginnings

If my writings have helped you in any way, please consider donating to my children in Kenya. It would mean the world to me if you could help. There are 85 orphans, and they all have AIDS. They need food, medicine, and clothing. They are all under the care of my friend Pastor John and the widows in the village where they live. I have had Pastor John vetted by Global Giving so this is not a scam. Here are the links for more information. To donate . . .


In 2003, we sent out emails to over 8,000 members asking for donations. We received $150 which we spent on medicine, clothing and food.

In February, the Board of Directors met on Zoom and discussed new fundraising projects. We decided to send out flyers and to create a business card to distribute.

Overall, there has not been enough funds to accomplish our goals. When there is no food we offer the children warm water and chestnuts.

John Okinge went to visit several churches asking for funds.

One of our children won first place in a speech contest. We are very proud of him.

In June, one of our children died of AIDS. We buried him in the backyard of our Project Leader Pastor John Okinge.

In August, another child was injured when the roof of his hut fell on him during a rainstorm. We took him to the hospital where he died. Unfortunately, the mortuary would not release the body because we could not pay the hospital bill. A week later John was arrested for the unpaid hospital bill and released by the judge on the condition that we pay the bill in installments. They still would not release the body. The child was buried in a mass grave of unclaimed bodies. We held a prayer vigil and all went into mourning.

Despite all this, the children are in good spirits and grateful for having us care about them. John has taken a job working in the corn fields to feed the children. He is much loved by our children and by me. If you can help our website is newbeginningstoday.us
