Just a water pump & some cows

I am Stephanie, a little kooky, a little spontaneous, looking to give back by having a reverse Christmas.
As some of you may know, I am going this December to Kenya to volunteer with Arrive in Kenya and the Keumbu Rehema Childrens Home  . This is an amazing home for street and orphaned children 4-17 years old,  in western Kenya. This is a crazy adventure for me, but one I am looking so forward too - especially spending Christmas with these wonderful munchkins. This is my first time at the crowdfunding rodeo, and I hope to raise this money before Christmas.

Arrive in Kenya is a US non profit started by a young man, in order to create some progress and change for the children of Kenya. But like many non profits and children's homes, they do need help and support. Aside from items I am bringing that so many of you have graciously donated, I am also raising money for some projects they need financial assistance with:

A new water pump (approx cost $4,000 USD)

2x dairy cows to provide milk for the children and initial vet bills (approx $150-250 USD per cow plus vaccinations).

The water pump would be purchased and installed, to replace their currently broken one, which helps bring in water from the nearby stream, into the home for washing, cooking and the like.

As the home is in a teeny remote village, they have been focusing toward becoming fully self sustainable, with vegetables and livestock building up their little farm. Purchasing cows would provide important daily milk for the kids. 

I would love love love if you might take a moment during this holiday season, to donate to this little campaign. I would be incredibly grateful. For those who donate more than $100, I will try to put together some little surprises for you!

Thank you so much for donating. And remember, ALL DONATIONS ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE!!!

Any excess money raised will go towards the operating costs of Arrive in Kenya and the home.

Happy Holidays!
