Turkana Feeding Program - Northern Kenya

Since 2006, Samaritan's Purse has been working to reduce deaths due to malnutrition among children and pregnant and nursing women. Twenty nine feeding centers in northern Kenya's drought-stricken Turkana district have been established and special high-nutrition food has been provided to malnourished infants and children. Through this feeding program, God has made a way for evangelistic outreach to people who know little or nothing about the Gospel. Many of them have come to faith in Jesus Christ, giving up their traditional African religions, and are now involved in local churches. One village chief said, “The mothers of the children are thanking God for this program.”

Women of the Turkana people listen to a bible study outside the feeding site.
