AID KENYA FOUNDATION'S MISSION

AID Kenya Foundation is a nonprofit nation-wide organization with a mission of ‘Changing Lives, Impacting Humanity.’ It mobilizes voluntary humanitarian aid for support, quality care and empowerment to and development assistance for orphans, vulnerable children (OVC, women and disadvantaged populations in rural-urban Kenya. Its activities focus on providing essential services to orphans and vulnerable children; we provide support in nutrition, medical access, education and vocational training, psychological support. Clothing, beddings and access to drinking water is also provided to families. Founded in 2007, AID Kenya has a devoted team of volunteers aggressively pursuing the love, compassion and self sustaining opportunities that all the young mother and children deserve only when the world cares. Children, young mothers and girls often bear the worst difficulties associated with living in poor neighborhoods. The burden of seeking for basic needs for their families makes their lives hopeless and miserable with little time for education or to make a better living. Who cares! The Foundation looks to help in whatever way possible through a variety of programs for the needy. We currently focus on five key programs; Foster – A – Child Program, Tunza Teenage Mothers Support, Stop FGM Now Campaign, Experiential Learning and Cultural Exchange Program; which affords willing volunteers the unique opportunity to positively impact people in need in a hands-on environment and Project innovation and Special Programs. Kenya suffers an 11 percent rate of orphan-hood, one of the highest infant and maternal mortality rates in the world, and widespread poverty, so it's no wonder that programs like the ones offered through the AID Kenya Foundation are so interested in getting more support. The foundation has a number of Tunza Children Centers, and started a number of community led participatory initiatives such as Fair Trade Kenya initiative; empowering young mothers and women on hand made items and product on how to market them, Maendeleo Mashinani Initiative (MaMI), Jawabu Foundation among others. ‘Tunza’ is a Swahili word for ‘Care’ while ‘Jawabu’ is Swahili Word for ‘Solution’ .
