#305 Women in Prison

Women who run small businesses like selling vegetables, but don't have a license, are fined more than they can afford to pay, then thrown in prison with their children.

From Mike Brawan...

Women who have committed small offence are take to Jail with their children by paying for the charges.

Many poor women where not able to raise and pay for the charges for them to be released out of prison with their children hence lead to many children dying in prison.

We have about 16 women with children now that we are working out with the Authorities to get them out. Some of the children are even sick and we have been give then drags as per the donations we get.

We are believing God for 80,000/in the less than two weeks to be able to get them out.

Most of the women have been charged between 4000/= to 6000/= Kenya shillings.

Mike Brawan just called me from Kenya to say thank you to all of you who participated in this. He says "you have no idea - getting these women out of prison is like getting them out of hell". The government is fully cooperating with us and the mayors and councils of several other towns are now interested in this program.

Thank you so much for your help, you have no idea how the City of Nakuru is blessed by the Impact Nations. I have been in touch with the Prison and they are so happy to realize that we are organizing to release 16 more people. They have given me the quotation of the all a mount needed to release these women.

3 Prisoners who are serving more terms with the children at 120 dollars each and other 13 very minor terms at 60 dollars each. The children to come out with their mothers are 11 in number.

The total a mount we need here is 1140 dollars, the balance I had for last time I did use for as transportation from the prisons to their home and also giving the medications. The other woman I am trusting God her release is a 34 year old lady with 3 children in the prison, she was found carrying bush meat and so charged just like that, with her case I need to raise 300 dollars to get her out as soon as possible for one of her children have sick for the last 5 days.

God bless you so much; keep on winning in Jesus name.

Yours,
