Crossing Continents To Help Machao Orphans In Kenya
Machao
Orphanage is located in Makueni Kenya. As a result of a US outreach initiative
the story of the orphans resonated with Eric Riddle, of Pasadena California. Eric shared his experiences there with his mother and others in
the local Pasadena community.
On his visit Eric
was greeted by smiling, welcoming orphans----and the conditions they live in--- the overbearing stench of burning
trash, no evidence of any sanitation, no electricity and the only food
available consisting of what is grown at the orphanage.

During
his time there the work of Eric's team focused on a sustainability project to
build a greenhouse and chicken coop essential to improving the children's diet
from only one meal a day consisting of grains. With the greenhouse and chicken
coop the children have vegetables and sources of protein. Any excess can be
sold at local markets.
Having
so little -- to the orphans these improvements are an incredible leap yet they still do not have many of the barest
of essentials we in the US take for granted, running water, proper sanitation,
a decent place to bathe, beds or proper means of transportation.
You can do your part by sharing the
plight of these orphans with your social connections and social networks. And
you can help by supporting The Machao Orphanage Foundation by providing quilts
for bedding, donations for school supplies and uniforms, etc. To learn more visit www.machaoorphanage.org.
