the you are loved drive
We recently had the pleasure of connecting and partnering with The Tirop Foundation. Their mission is to establish equal opportunities for International Medical Graduates, and to allot all Medical Students with the same clinical opportunities, because of this life giving organization, we are now connected to and partnering with The Eldoret Children’s Rescue Centre.
It was established in 2002 to host street children. There is a huge population of street Children in Eldoret. There are orphans, children who ran away from their homes and the disabled. Some of them come from homes challenged with adversities of barely meeting the basic minimum human needs. Eldoret Children’s Home is located in Eldoret town in Kenya. It houses hundreds of children, teenagers and disabled adults. The center provides rescued children with basic necessities such as food and shelter. It also rehabilitates street kids by steering them away from drugs and integrating them back into the society. It is an extremely safe haven. The amount of children, teens and disabled populations coupled with scarcity of resources, proposes a need to assist with better living conditions, basic needs and education. This is where Balanced Women comes in! We will be working with these impactful organizations to aid with some relief in the specified areas.
In Febuary of 2023, The Balanced Women Inc, Tirop Foundation and Eldoret Children’s rescue center have joined forces to establish and launch, “The You are Loved Drive.”
We sponsored manicures, pedicures and hairdos to chosen young ladies and a few young men in need as well.
It was also expressed that Eldoret as well as other Rescue Centers are in need of feminine products for the young ladies.
We also packaged bags of essentials that included but were not limited to feminine products, deodorant, lotion, socks, body wash, nail polish for the young ladies, chap stick, journals & pens, a piece of jewelry for the young ladies, chocolate, and a love note.
Distributions and activities took place on February 12th. in lieu of Valentine’s Day. This venture will be an ongoing one as well.
We firmly and wholeheartedly believe that a huge part of leading a well-balanced life, is to ensure that you pour into your mental health and engage in self-care practices as well. We desire for these beautiful individuals to feel loved, special, valued and appreciated. Hence the reason why we conducted this drive on the day set aside for all things love.
We managed to feed 26 boys and 30 girls on February 12th. 2023 at Eldoret Children’s Rescue Center in Kenya with some nourishing treats. We chose some girls and boys to get manicures, pedicures and spa treatments as well. We also distributed bags with essentials and love notes.
The kids were over joyed with their hair and spa treatments and they felt beautiful and loved. Our representative in Kenya said that the smiles on their faces especially the girls, were so bright. It was also their first time getting manicures and pedicures done too.
The best part of their day was going to their local KFC and ice-cream parlor.
They devoured their food and really enjoyed the meals provided whole heartedly.In addition to these efforts, we will be assisting some young ladies with their fees for primary and secondary (high) school, and providing some other necessities as well.
Your donations will touch the lives of numerous children who stand in need. We thank you for your continued support.
