HIV/ AIDS and ORPHANS (Support program)
Every single day,children wake up in cruel burden of taking care of themselves and their parents who are almost succumbing to Hiv/Aids scourge. They are hopeless as poverty takes advantage over them. Most of them dont go to school because of hunger.

They suffer the strong sun during day time and leaking roof accompanied with the biting cold of winter at night. These conditions open doors for most tropical illnesses like pneumonia and other airborn and water born diseases like tuberculosis and typhoid respectively, wich kill most of the Hiv/Aids victims here in these villages.

Most of the time we contend with the conditions of malaria outbreak due to mosquito bites especially in the wet seasons. This is so disastrous that at one time infant mortality rate went so high as most women give birth at home without the help of medical specialists.

In our bid to rewrite the lives of children in Wagusus and Abimbo villages in western Kenya, we provide Day Child Care programs which include the provision of the basic needs: food, education and accommodation.

We appeal to well wishers: organizations, governments agencies etc. and volunteers who are touched in their hearts to help us change the situation here for a better future, otherwise there is no future for the children and these communities.
