Kenia Shares Her Story After Hurricane Matthew

Oct 7, 2016

You may be connected to this woman, even if you never met her. If you wear a beautiful silk scarf from Matènwa, Kenya may be the artist who painted it. Kenya is one of many mothers now trying to clean up with a chin up after the storm. She and her family will eat meat today, but not by choice. Her goat, which was like a piggy bank, died in the storm. Help us to help her keep her children dry. Donate now, donate again.
