Hope Transforms: A Success Story
Lydia\* is a 13-year-old Grade 5 student at our Olturot Center. She lives in Olturot village with her single mother in a small, single-room manyatta made from sticks, poles, mud, boxes, and old clothes.
Lydia and her family live in a remote area of Olturot, far from facilities like schools and hospitals, which are largely inaccessible. Lydia has had a heart condition since early childhood, and it continued to worsen as she grew older. Her family had given up hope, believing there was nothing more they could do to save her life. However, when MOHI came to her community, she was finally able to receive much-needed medical attention.
In 2022, when the MOHI health team visited the Olturot Center, they recognized that Lydia was in desperate need of medical attention. Immediate action was taken, and Lydia was brought to Nairobi for treatment. We thank God that, through MOHI, Lydia was able to receive treatment.
Today, she is doing well, healthy, and able to go to school. Her family was initially skeptical about her recovery, as they had tried everything in their power to help her. However, as she began to recover, hope was restored. They are grateful to God for sending MOHI to Olturot in time to save their little girl.

### Term Highlights
- We are proud of our Grade 4 and 7 students who participated in the spelling bee and public speaking competition at Missions of Hope Kargi Center.
- We are grateful to God for the successful Christmas party that took place at our center. This yearly event is always greatly anticipated by our kids. They had a wonderful time.
- We thank God for a successful graduation ceremony for our kindergarten students and a prayer day for our Grade 6 students before they sat for their important national test later in the term.
- We also thank God for all our students who sat for the Grade 6 test. Our students are set to join junior secondary school in the new year!
### Prayer Requests
- Pray for God's protection of our students and staff during this December holiday.
- Thank God for the Grade 6 students who sat for their national tests. Pray for their success as they transition to the next stage of their education.
- Pray for the leadership of our country and wisdom for the leaders as they formulate policies to govern it.
