Orphan Outreach

­

The Problem

There are nearly 3 million children who are orphaned in Kenya. Of those, 1.2 million are orphaned due to HIV/AIDS.

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.

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 2 ways:

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

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