There are over 1.5 MILLION orphans in Kenya alone, and the numbers are increasing every day. Of course, HIV and AIDS are a huge contributing factor. It’s difficult to imagine the need in Kenya until someone experiences it.

 

Girls in Kenya who are orphaned have little hope that they will attain a bright future. They are often times abused, raped, and made to be modern day slaves in the homes of remaining relatives. They are denied education because of their circumstances, and in many cases, they are forced to beg on the streets, and so they are viewed as a nuisance by the community as if they chose to be orphans!

 

Help us give these girls a future and a hope.
