Mark Kiptoo (Child Number ER105)
Mark was born in 1998 in the Keiyo District. (It’s not unusual for a child to not know his/her birthdate.)
He was abandoned by his parents when he was young and the whereabouts of his parents are not known. (Also not unusual in Kenya.)
A good Samaritan brought Mark to a local Pastor, Philip Ngetich. Pastor Ngetich took Mark as his own and became the boy’s guardian. He took care of him until financially he could not continue to do so. Pastor Philip then brought him to the Children’s Village in 2004. (Pastor Philip currently leads worship and prayer services with the children.)
Mark is currently attending Eldama Ravine Primary School and is in Class 3 (3rd grade).
Mark is among several children who are ready for sponsorship. To choose a child to sponsor, please visit our Sponsorship Gallery.
