Rose Akinyi and her husband Caleb had a prosperous business in Tanzania, near the border of Kenya. They had 3 children, and Rose was pregnant with twins. But in 2006 Caleb became ill, and couldn't continue to run his business. With 3 children and a sick husband to look after, and also her old mother in law Dorice Musa, and getting towards the late stages of her pregnancy, Rose could not look after the business either, and it collapsed, leaving them in great need. Logos began to help, but on 29th July 2006 Caleb died, leaving Rose alone to cope with the children. A few weeks later Rose gave birth to twin daughters (right).

As if the situation was not bad enough, things got worse. Two years before Rose and her husband Caleb had borrowed a sum of money from a local business man to help their business. They should have been able to pay it back easily, but with Caleb being sick and the business failing, payments had not been made. Realizing that he would not get his money back, the local business man came with the police and with guns and arrested Rose and put her in prison with her recently born twins. Logos church rallied round in all their countries and managed to raise enough to get Rose out of prison, and since then Logos has been supporting Rose and her children until we can find a way to enable her to help herself.
