Target demographics: Orphans in Kenya and Uganda where over 2 million children have been orphaned by HIV/AIDS, tribal or social conflict.

Direct beneficiaries per year: Over 500 orphans live in our 5 orphanages

Someone who had 3 hours of volunteer time could: We have many volunteer jobs available but they are longer-term volunteer positions. Many of our volunteers spend just a few hours per week, but they commit to working for the ministry for several months.

Volunteers make presentations to church and community groups about the problem of HIV/AIDS in Africa and the resulting millions of orphaned children. They tell about our ministry and sign up volunteers.

Other volunteers help with the office work and public relations. They might help us mail letters from the orphans to their sponsors for example.

Mission:

Our mission is to help as many orphaned children as possible, through any means possible. We wish to accomplish this mission through the following specific goals.

1. Using exclusively local Administrators, laborers, and methods except on the governance level.

2. Maintaining, supporting, encouraging, and empowering the local culture and economy in and through our projects.

3. Avoiding imposing any external cultural influences that are against Christianity, and encouraging positive norms of the local people working in our facilities.

Results:

Over 500 orphans are being cared for in 5 orphanages in Kenya and Uganda. This work has been growing since beginning to accept orphans in 2002. Several of the children have now graduated from secondary school and are attending college. A few have already graduated from college or vocational school and are contributing members of society.
