The Narok Community Outreach Program provides essentials like food, counseling, and mentorship to more than 200 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.
In 2019, Orphan Outreach, along with its Kenyan partner NGO, Yatima Outreach, identified the need to establish an education program for orphaned and vulnerable children in Naisoya, a village located in Narok County in Kenya. The community was identified by the Archbishop of the Anglican Church of Kenya, Jackson Ole Sapit, who knew of its overwhelming need and lack of resources.
