Requested by
Hopeful Rays Community Organisation (HRCO)Who are you trying to help? What issue are you trying to address?
Hopeful Rays Community Organisation (HRCO) is a community group that address the plight of a certain number orphaned children affected with HIV/AIDS in Rangwe Division, Kochia Location , Homabay County, Kenya by providing there most basic needs and helping fill the knowledge gap.
We have a project to set up an academy for the children and are looking for help in any way or guidance to help raise funds for the project.
What is your project and how will it help?
AIDS has orphaned millions of children in the African sub-continent. As a result the problem of orphans and vulnerable children has reached catastrophic proportions in most countries including Kenya. Given that the number of orphans is projected to treble over the next ten years, it is tremendously important to address this problem and delineate the contours of public action.
True to the African tradition, the extended family and communities have risen to the occasion. Grandparents, uncles and aunties are looking after a great number of these orphans today. Nonetheless, serious strains on the traditional coping mechanisms are now evident. Although awareness of the plight of orphans is growing, no country, including Kenya has mounted the kind of response that is needed to match the severity of the crisis. The reasons include insufficient knowledge of the magnitude of the problem and the strength (or weakness) of existing coping strategies, lack of clarity on the advantages and disadvantages of possible interventions, limited capacity to implement interventions and scarce resources.
This proposal is a first step in addressing the plight of orphans in the three Kochia Locations of Rangwe Division in Homa Bay County in Kenya by providing for their most basic needs and helping in filling the knowledge gap.
