OVER 300 NEEDY FAMILIES GET DONATIONS FROM DAVID OWUSU MINISTRIES

DAVID OWUSU MINISTRIES DONATE FOOD STUFF AND CARE PACKAGES TO OVER 300 FAMILIES AS PART OF A COVID-19 PANDEMIC HUMANITARIAN DRIVE

By Vera Shawiza

David Owusu Ministries (DOM), an international and interdenominational

Ministry, donated foodstuffs and other packages to more than 300

families affected by the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This was part of the humanitarian drive that started in April and

targeted families living in informal settlements in Nairobi including

Huruma, Kibera, Dagoreti, Rongai, Bangladesh slum and Mathare among

others.

The David Owusu Ministries conducted the humanitarian drive in

collaboration with the Administration Police and chiefs within the

communities who helped identify the vulnerable families thanks to the

‘Nyumba Kumi’ initiative.

DOM is a Ministry that seeks to reach out to the nations of the world

with the Word of God, which is able to build people, liberate and

transform lives. The organization has been engaged in community

projects over the past years in Kenya, Ghana and England with an impact

of over 3,500 lives.

Marking the end of December, a culmination of the Drive, The DOM FG

ministry took time to visit and to deliver food to a small community-

based organization known as; Mama Africa Pendo. The organization is

based in the Mathare slums of Nairobi Kenya. Mama Africa Pendo was

founded by Mary Njeru in March 2015 and is committed to serving people

in Mathare slum (Nairobi, Kenya). At the event, 30 different families

based in the slums got to receive foodstuff and toiletries.

At all events, the laid-out measures that the Government has put in

place during this COVID-19 period were strictly followed, with only a

few members of DOM FG and DOM Care were present. Due to the global

pandemic affecting the world, here in Kenya, the magnitude of the

challenge by the Covid-19 pandemic has greatly affected the less

privileged due to the stringent measures that the Government has put in

place to contain the spread of Covid-19.

Speaking during the event at Mama Pendo, the DOM President, Apostle

David Owusu, said that, “this food that the Ministry had been donating

was geared to bringing cheer and comfort to the less fortunate. Good

deeds will always follow you and leaving a positive impact on the less

fortunate brings blessings to your fold. This pandemic had brought the

world together as the pandemic has affected all countries, with the

death toll on the increase. Here in Kenya and Africa, God has preserved

and protected the nations and we cannot take for granted that the

numbers affecting those in Africa are not as high as anticipated. This

pandemic has indeed brought the world closer to God.”

“As DOM, we are an organization that not only looks at impacting people

spiritually but touching all aspects of a person’s life. We reach out

to the needy and less privileged in the society through visiting them,

donating items and supporting them through their life”, added Apostle

David.

S.P. Fr. Peter Waweru, Directory of Gender, Sports and Welfare

Administration Police Service, HQ Jogoo House A., thanked DOM for

visiting, donating to less privileged people in various localities

saying,” As the Bible states, whoever is kind to the poor lends to the

Lord, and He will reward them for what they have done. And for DOM,

your kindness and generosity demonstrate your call to helping the needy

in society.” He continued by saying, “to help contain the effects and

spread of COVID-19 all Kenyans and people in the world need to pull

together and ensure that all laid out procedures are being strictly

followed including wearing masks, washing hands, practicing social

distancing and staying home. Observing the measures that the Government

has put in place are for the good of the nation.”
