EDUCATION PROGRAM FOR DISADVANTAGED CHILDREN

This project is organized in support of Children's Rehabilitation Home in Kisumu Town. The home was established in 2002 with the aim to rehabilitate 38 destitute children. With support of local churches, individuals, donors and organizations, the project has continued to pursue its objective of providing parental care, quality education and health services to orphans and vulnerable children. Since its inception, the home has experienced remarkable growth and is currently supporting 120 children.
