<p>We met Millicent in 2006 when her mother was very ill.  She is from a single parent family so the only way she could eat was to beg for food at the nearby restaurants.  She has never known her father.  Unfortunately her mother died during the post election violence in Kisumu during March 2007 and she was left destitute at the tender age of 11.</p>

<p>c4c has been caring for Millicent ever since her mother&#8217;s death.  She would like to go to school.  Please help us help Millicent by pledging a small amount monthly to our Life Centre School project.</p>

<p>He is the boy who smiles at the end of our advertisment and film online!</p>
<p> Please help us assist young people like Michael.  Pledge a small amount each month toward the Life Centre School project.</p>
