Programs

SVPCDO operates a nursery school and rescue center for children. The nursery school provides early education to over 80 children between the ages of 3 and 7, preparing them for entrance into primary school and enabling guardians to seek employment. The rescue center provides housing, food, clothes, schooling and medical support to 17 orphaned children ages 3 to 10. Children are cared for by a house mother and live in a household structured similar to that of a typical Kenyan family.
