Moses, 41, is a loving devoted father of three sons: Dennis, 15; Nicholas, 12; and Dickson, 10.  He is trying to give them what he never had-a homelife.  Moses grew up without knowing anything about his parents and having to herd cattle in order to get food and lodging at homes.  Because he had to work for food and shelter he never received an education, which has made life difficult in providing for his family.  His wife deserted him and their sons and he spends most of his time doing odd jobs like ironing clothes to provide a basic meal for them. 

 

While he is talkative and friendly, he doesn't find any time for fun because he considers raising his children in a God-fearing way to be the most imprtant thing he can do.  He is proud to be a child of God. 

 

His three sons are already better off than he was because of his devotion to them.  They have hope.   Dennis, his oldest who will be 16 in July wants to be a computer engineer, but he is currently unable to attend school due to expensive high school tuition. Nicholas, the middle child who will be turning 13 in the middle of May, wants to be a doctor.  Dickson, the youngest at 10, wants to be a pastor.

 

Moses' goal to provide a steady income and consistent healthy meals, like ugali and stew. He currently operates a tiny shop where he and his oldest son sell mandazi (breakfast bread). He has hopes to access a small loan so that he can move his business to a better location and begin to sell housewares, which will enable him to increase his income and keep his boys in school.
