emergency needs are met and Development that will lead toTransformation. Once transformed, children will break thecycle of poverty for themselves and their families throughthe fruit of their work. We could not accomplish this Godgiven responsibility without your support.

In Nairobi, Kenya, approximately 600,000people live in the unplanned settlement of theMathare slum. Nearly 98% live below thepoverty line and are barely surviving on less thana dollar a day. Like other slum dwellers acrossthe country and worldwide, the Mathare residents are forced to contend with highlycompromised living conditions that include extremely poor sanitation and sewage systems, deplorable housing and a near absence of all social amenities. These challenges have a directimpact on the ever increasing child mortality rate, inferior maternal health and a high prevalence of HIV/AIDS infections. Child mortality is on the increase due to meager, inadequate diets. Children not much older than 5 years of age end up on the streets as they areforced to search for food in dumpsters outside their homes. Others resort to prostituting themselves or selling illegal drugs for food, whichends their schooling as the need for food supersedes the need for education. ChildCare INTERNATIONAL has committed to assist the
feeding program at the three schools overseen by Mathare CommunityOutreach. Food is essential as a motivator for school attendance. It is thekey to relief, survival, promotion and adequate involvement of the childrenin all activities which includes attending school.

The smell of alcohol assaults your nose from a distance. The whole placeis a beehive of activity. Welcome to Kyaye, a slum in a Kampala suburb nearthe Makerere Full Gospel Church, a place that never goes to sleep.
Directly across the street from the Kyaye slum is the Makerere Full GospelChurch which from its humble beginning has grown to become one of thelargest churches in the country. For many years they could only watch helplessly as the slum slipped into further decay and the children grew upwith no hope. Today, in partnership with CCI, we have combined our resources to transform the lives of the children in the Kyaye slum.
Through a generous gift from Canada, the Arthur & Elsie SkidmoreLegacy Centre has been built on the Makerere Full Gospel site to providea place for over 300 children to come to hear the Word of God, receive a nutritious meal and participate in an Awana based children’s program.CCI has registered 200children from 14 schools in
the Kyaye slum to assure them an education, basic health care, spiritual transformationand the dream of a better life outside of the slum.
