Universal Fellowship Organization educates, cares, feeds and supports 200 orphans in Western Kenya. The organization pays school fees for 60 orphans at secondary at schools, 30 orphans at colleges and 10 orphans at universities. It also feeds, takes care and supports100 orphans at day care and home based centers in Western Kenya. The programme has restored hope in the lives of the 200 orphans we are supporting.
Poverty, ignorance, illiteracy, disease and above all HIV/AIDS are major challenges in the community. That is why many children are orphans. There is high rate of school dropouts, and as a result most girls who have dropped out of school are vulnerable to child labour, child prostitution, child trafficking, child forced marriages and HIV new infections high rates.
The project will restore hope in the lives of orphans. These orphans will continue with their education at primary, secondary, colleges and university. Through education these orphans will be empowered for self reliance. Through health care and nutritional support the vulnerable orphans who are HIV positive will be assisted and live longer.
The empowered orphans through education, care and support will be self-reliant and this will enable them contribute positively to the community economic growth. This will be an indicator of long term impact of the project in the community. The project will also reduce self denial among vulnerable children in the community. Discrimination of orphans will also be reduced by this project.
