As we continue to serve our community we fell encouraged today to see faces and hearts changed. A process of transformation which gives hope to young people

Nevertheless there sis still a lot to be done out there as this year one of the boys who are still living in the streets passed on after being infected which HIV AIDS. At times its very painful since there is not much we can do only to be part of their lives as friends and also act as their brothers in guiding them.

Below is Margaret and Erunye still in the streets Margaret has had 8 pregnancies since we met her about 5 years ago but miraculously she is HIV negative.

Another encouragement is that we just qualified for a grant allocated to HIV awareness and campaign from the government this year total amount of  ksh 350,000(about $5,000)

We have a special appeal for school sponsorship

Benjamin Kamuyu

He has not ad sponsorship for the whole of this year which amounted to ksh 38,000 per year tuition only .We only managed to pay 15,000 out of the above balance.

The teacher allowed him to be in school since he was the best in class. Next year in January we desperately need someone who can support his high school education which the first year will cost   ksh 63,000

Rent $250 per month

Food $800 per month

General running of the organization (transport, phone, electricity, water maintenance etc)

$1,500 per month

Thank you all for your prayers and continued support

Peace and blessings
