Dear Moustafa, MD,
I work with projects that provide basic needs to the orphans and other vulnerable (OVC) in Kenya, on the shores of Lake Victoria the project area of operation, namely:-
a.Educational needs:- Which urgently requires / needs story books, exercise books, school bags, school suppliers, such as pens, pencils, crayons, rubbers, mathematical sets, calculators, writing pads, posters and charts on numbers, Alphabets, Globes and First Aids Kits.
b.Clothing :- The children need clothes of various kinds and T-shirts, jackets and school uniforms etc
c.Medical Care (Drugs) :- Drugs of common children diseases as Malaria, Headache, stomach and ringworms etc. these are purchased locally in the Pharmacy / Chemist shops.
d.Food – Children Feeding Programme: - The project also undertakes school children feeding programme of providing breakfast and lunch to the children. Therefore, the project needs to purchase the following items:- Maize, beans, Millet, Sorghum, Cassava, Salt, Cooking fat, Meat, Fish etc, and also provide cooking pots, water containers, firewood for cooking, plates and mugs etc.
The project is implemented by way of Home Based Care Management (HBCM), whereby the orphans live with the care providers who can be next of kin, foster parents, friends, relatives i.e. old grandmothers left behind after the demise of their beloved sons, daughters and other relatives. The orphans and other vulnerable children come to learn and have meals at school and at the day go back where they live and treated to home based care management.
The project plans to establish an orphanage to be called “Home for the champions” as some orphaned children cannot locate or early have care providers. These are children living under special and difficult circumstances i.e street children found on the streets born out wedlock whose mothers have died of HIV / AIDS. Hence the originality cannot be traced. And therefore a children’s home becomes ideal / necessary. The orphanage establishment is subject to availability of funds / resources.
The project will appreciate any financial and material support to implement its goals / objectives and planned and current activities. We shall appreciate medical supplies and orphanage needs.
