KENYA
Kenya is faced with several major problems that affect its children. Due to droughts for the past several years, malnutrition rates in Kenya are very high. Inter-tribal violence has resulted in a rise in the number of children who live on the streets; many of them turning to commercial sex work as a means to survive. And although overall education rates have been increasing, poor children and orphans often do not complete primary education.

For the past several years, Reaching Hearts for Kids has been supporting children in Kenya who have been orphaned by AIDS. We have been working with Mary Metobo, the director of the Motherly Care Children’s Home in Nairobi, to take children off the streets and give them the care, protection and education that they need. Motherly Care Home shelters approximately 135 children. We have provided MCCH with a well for water, and continue to provide assistance for food and education of the children.

Please help Reaching Hearts for Kids to continue to keep children from a life on the street.
