The slums of Nairobi are very dirty. The people are poor, diseased, and for the most part—starving. There is no running water. Human sewage flows down the dirt streets. The houses are made of metal and wood scraps. Vermin are abundant. AIDS, malaria, and other diseases have claimed many lives, and these is a large abundance of homeless orphans. Prostitution is rampant. Thievery and violence are common. People live and scrounge for food in the city dump.
Mike and Marigold have planted nearly 30 churches in the slums, and financially support many of the pastors and ministries that are now in operation.
We will visit some of the churches, orphanages, and school/feeding programs established by the Cheshiers.
