Joanna and Jackie

Another one of the families we have been able to help are Joanna and Jackie.  Here's a little bit about them.......

Joanna and Jackie are sisters who love to play and have their hair braided.  The girls have been coming to our kids club for a while.  Joanna and Jackie’s Mum and Dad love them but are really struggling with money and trying to find a job.

Last month the family were forced to leave their old room due to not having the money to pay the rent and became homeless.  The family have been sleeping outside under a truck in the slum.  Two weeks ago we told the family that we wanted to help them find a new home.  Ten minutes later, Mum came back and said she had found a room and had already started to clean it!  Joanna and Jackie were very excited and started jumping around!  Mum is still smiling two weeks later:)


Dad said that the family would pay for their water bill but asked for help with the rent and electricity.  We agreed to pay this and work with parents to help them get back on their feet and get jobs so that they can start to pay the rent themselves over the coming months.  We are very grateful to a church in the UK who have given a gift to cover these costs.
