Meet Trizer
Aged 10, Kenya
Trizer lives with her family in a rented one room house alongside eight other houses. It is a home with an iron sheet roof. Trizer’s mother sometimes cooks just outside the home on a three stone stove or will use a charcoal burner. In the compound they share a borehole for their water, or sometimes collect from a well. In their house, they have a curtain which separates the living and sleeping areas.
With the support from Stand by Me and sponsorship, Trizer can continue to receive help with her education, school materials, meals, and other material items like clothing.
Trizer really loves being in school and making friends. She is keen to learn and enjoys being part of the school clubs. She loves music and likes to sing and dance. Trizer also enjoys group work and likes doing group presentations.
Where Trizer lives
The Open Arms Village was founded in 2006 to meet the immediate needs of orphaned and abandoned children in western Kenya who were suffering from a wide variety of life-threatening diseases. After the 2008 political violence left thousands of children orphaned, abandoned and homeless, the project grew to support more children. Today, the Open Arms Village is now home to over 150 children with 10 purpose-built family homes and the Open Arm Academy is educating children and giving them a hopeful future.
