Distribution
of orphans in Kenya by age shows that out of the 900,000 orphans, 16% are
between 0-4 years, 33% are between 5-9 years and 51% are between 10-14 years. On
average 700 persons die daily due to HIV/AIDS leaving behind poor children as
orphans without This
project was founded in 1996 to help alleviate these problem by providing needed
protection and care and also offer improved quality education through improved
curriculum, provision of trained teachers and also by providing
training/teaching resources and physical facilities at the Centre and School. Currently
we cater for a population of 180 needy and orphaned children annually but the
main constraints are adequate physical facilities, staff and financing.
The problems are compounded by an ever-increasing population of such
needy children.
The
project is currently run on voluntary resources and these are indeed limited. So
any contribution from voluntary donor agencies is highly welcomed and will go
along way to help ease the financial burden. The
project situation financially is deteriorating.
We have not been able to attract new supporters to fill the gap with the
result these result is starting to exceed income and the director having to
break into his family savings.
