The Problem

There are nearly 3 million children who are orphaned in Kenya. 700 children are orphaned each day due to the impact of HIV.

18.5 million Kenyans live below the poverty line. In Nairobi alone, 70% of the population lives in slums, and 70% of the children in those slums do not attend school.

35 million Kenyans lack access to basic medical care.

26% of girls and 32% of boys experience violence as a child.

Though the country has made strides to make education more affordable, indirect costs for secondary school are still ten to twenty times more than the monthly income of most rural Kenyan families, making higher education out of reach for children.

Our Response

Orphan Outreach responds to the needs of orphaned and vulnerable children in Kenya in 3 ways:

We offer tangible hope by meeting the physical, emotional, educational, and spiritual needs of orphaned and vulnerable children. 

We invest in community outreach programs that strengthen and preserve families in high-risk, impoverished areas. These programs provide nutritious meals, access to Christian education, quality counseling and mentoring, and urgently needed medical care.

We equip students and their families with the resources needed to continue their educational journey through junior high and high school.

Community Outreach Program, Narok County

The Narok Community Outreach Program provides essentials like food, counseling, and mentorship to orphaned and vulnerable Maasai children and their families living in Narok County. This remote region of Kenya is often overlooked, and most families lack the resources to provide the most basic of care to children. Malnutrition rates are high and educational opportunity is limited. As the initiative grows, educational and agricultural programs will be added.
