With your help new churches are bringing hope in a city slum area. Just to give you background, here is a… day in the life of a slum-child:
Sharon’s day begins early as she gets herself ready to walk to grade school. As soon as classes end she must then hurry home where her mother has prepared sweet bread for her to take into the streets to sell for needed income.
Sharon quickly changes clothes, slings a dirty bag over her shoulder to carry water in, and grabs the tray of bread wrapped in paper and stacked high. She rushes to the city center where she will illegally hawk her wares dodging in and out of the commuters stuck in traffic.
“By the time I get to Nyayo Stadium roundabout, it’s past 6:30 pm, so I get to work immediately,” she says. “When the traffic clears, it’s past 9:00 pm. My older brother looks for me at that hour and we start heading home.”
Exhausted when she gets to her small home, she does her chores then drops into bed. Tomorrow will be the same.
