The Story of Dennis & Benson
The Story of Dennis & Benson
December 26, 2022
Ulutya, Kenya
by Apostle Benson Musyimi, Arising Christian Ministries
The following is a story of two young boys who lives in rural areas of Ulutya Village where twenty orphan children attend school on Global Orphan Relief scholarships.
Dennis & Benson with their Grandmother who is 70 years of age.
Dennis Kithuka (the one from left with black trouser) and his younger brother Benson Muthini (seen in the blue shorts) posing for this photo outside their grandmother’s house. They are both orphans and sons to the late Ms Ndele Kithuka who passed from illness and left them while they were at a tender age.
Dennis was born on 27th March 2006 and his brother in 2008. They have been studying at Ulutya Primary School before Dennis joined Fr. Makewa High School. Benson is joining high school next year in January based on his sitting this month for the KENYA CERTIFICATE OF PRIMARY EDUCATION exams.
Since the demise of their mother, these two boys have been under the care of their grandmother who has provided for them by seeking help from the villagers. With the little income she gets from making herbal medicines she provides her services as an unskilled village midwife.
The family has seen a great light for these boy’s education after Global Orphan Relief reached this village by the visit of Mr. Scott Nordstrom who encouraged the poor villagers and widows with word of God and launched sponsorship program.
These two boys are an example of many children who pass through difficult time to get clothing and ample food. We pray for more doors of provision to open up as we trust God for a hopeful future.
God bless the supporters of Global orphan Relief. It is through your sacrificial efforts that children like Dennis and Benson are able to attend school. God bless you and yours.
Today, we are supporting 322 orphan children through our Education Initiative with plans to increase this to 586 student recipients in Kenya & Zambia in 2023.
Global Orphan Relief (GO) has been serving orphaned children since 2005. We have accomplished this work to date through local partners in each country that provides oversight and distribution of care.
As of November 2022, we served 6,033 orphan children in Ethiopia, Kenya, Pakistan, South Sudan, and Zambia. We provide this aid through our Field Partners & our GO! Ambassador networks through our Home-Based Care, Education, Nutrition & Church Mobilization Initiatives.
We support 20 orphan children in the village of Ulutya in Kenya, with plans to have 30 children on scholarship in 2023. Ulutya is east of Nairobi by 136 kilometers. These children are served through our Education Initiative, which allows for these children to continue with their education, and they receive food at school as well.
We have worked with Apostle Benson Musyimi of Arising Christian Ministries since October 2021 when we partnered to support the children living at A Place of Hope Orphanage. Since then, we have grown our partnership to provide scholarships in Ulutya Village, and nutritional support to a school in Lucky Summer Estate. Apostle Benson was also part of our GO! Kenya team who launched our Church Mobilization effort in Mombasa and Nairobi in February 2022.
