Kenyan Bishop Swindles US Donor Millions Meant for Children's Home
A philanthropist from the United States has made an appeal to the Kenyan justice system for assistance in recovering a children's home and school that was swindled away from her by a bishop based in Naivasha.
Sherri Gonzalez shares that she established a nonprofit organization in 2016 and travelled to Kenya the following year intending to start an educational centre for underprivileged and vulnerable children. It was during her time in Kenya that she crossed paths with a bishop who was ministering at Oasis Grace in Naivasha, and he offered to assist her in setting up the school. The Sherri's Education Centre, situated in Karagita, Naivasha, was established with the primary objective of providing education to disadvantaged students during their adolescence.
She expresses regret in hiring Abiud Masinde to serve as a director. She discloses having found out that he produced bogus paperwork to make it seem like she was the school's owner. Upon digging through the documents, it was disclosed that the bishop registered ownership of the property in his name. Sherri shares that she continued to remit money to the bishop for the operation of the institution. Sherri firmly believes that gaining control of her school is crucial to continuing her quest to assist underprivileged children across the country.
She says that her son and a former NFL player Genos Derwin Williams played a significant role in raising millions of dollars for the project. Sherri expresses her lack of sympathy towards the Bishop, lamenting that the bishop has escaped being held accountable. She denounces his actions of hoarding the funds intended for the children, the community, and the future, thereby depriving them of the blessings she intended to provide.
