Daystar U.S.

Can you imagine a life where simply stepping foot outside your front door puts you in danger of assault? For thousands of women and girls living in the slums, this reality is part of daily life. Cana Cares is a mission born into the Makuru slums of Nairobi by Daystar University alumna, Pastor Mary Mambo. The mission has served to rescue hundreds of women and children from life in the slums, human trafficking, and exploitation. Daystar scholarships allow the girls rescued to leave the slums and rise to their true potential. Click the link below to help save a child's life today: https://lnkd.in/g7yyi7UK
