You can help these vulnerable children whose families have been taken away by the AIDS epidemic. They have nowhere to turn for life’s most basic necessities – food, clothing, safety, and schooling. Your contribution will mean the world to them.
Children’s Center
In addition to providing housing, food, clothing, and medical care, the Children’s Center plans to offer:
- a tuition-free elementary school for all AIDS orphans in the district
- a vocational training center teaching courses such as carpentry, sheet metal work, tailoring, automotive repair
- an orphanage for children affected and infected by HIV/AIDS
- a campsite for children affected and infected by HIV/AIDS
- an HIV/AIDS Clinic providing health care, HIV education and counseling, and a funeral home
- a full-time social worker for the children living in the Center and for the orphans living in the area who are under the care of Marafiki Global AIDS Ministry
- a recreation center for the children
- an income-producing guesthouse for Marafiki mission team members on trips to Kenya and other Mission groups.

Grassroots Alliance for Community Education
“Keeping Hope Alive” is a program founded by Natasha Martin to support the education of 200 orphans in Butula, Kenya. Primary education in Kenya was not subsidized by the government until recently and expenses such as cooks, supplies, uniforms and travel to and from school are not covered. High school education, normally costing $500-$600 per year in fees and supplies, is not paid by the government.
