A man in Nyaturubo, Nyaribari Chache in Kisii County who was abandoned by his wife and three children after he was infested with jiggers has received support from members of a local church.
House of Bread International Church led by Alex Nyamwaya arrived at the home of Mr. Philip Aming'a and offered their support to the aging man.
"It is unfortunate that no one has come out to help Aming'a after his case went viral. Locals leaders have done nothing to improve his house, buy him new clothes and bedding," he said.
Nyamwaya said as a church they organized and contributed funds which they used to buy new clothes, mattresses, blankets, soap, and food.
"We also found Mr. Aming'a has no pit latrine. We built him a toilet and sprinkled pesticides in his house to kill the jiggers which led his wife and children to abandon him," he added.
He assured that the church will continue giving support to Aming'a until the jiggers are eradicated.
"Well-wishers willing to help Aming'a should not shy off. We have plans as a church to build him a new house," he added.
