I just began sponsoring Jelanga on November 22, 2002 through Christian Children's Fund. She is 11 years old.
Jelanga is from a family of 6 children. She was born in Lagam in the Rift Valley Province of Kenya. Her family background is one of poverty and need.
Her family are peasant farmers. But what they grown on the land is not even enough to feed the family, let alone for sale.
They live in a grass thatched hut.
The family's ANNUAL income is less than $48.
Jelanga was referred to the project by a committee member for assistance.
Her family is from the Marakwet tribe. They are Christians.
