HIV positive mothers in Kenya are often abandoned by their husbands and families. Without property, job or income, their lives are hopeless. They are the only one responsible for their (often also HIV-infected) children, but because of extreme poverty cannot feed themselves and their children. Sometimes they don’t see another way out than commercial sex for food. Their condition deteriorates, they get sick more often and die sooner. Then their children are left behind.
KENYA CARE FOUNDATION SUPPORTS THOSE WOMEN TO GET A BETTER FUTURE
By supporting these women in rebuilding a decent life, so that they can generate an income, earn their own upkeep and raise their children, and be no longer dependent. By educating these women in hygiene and nutrition and teaching them “how to live with HIV/AIDS.” By supporting their children so that they can go to school and receive an education, and thus have a chance for a better future.
Will you help?
With your donation we can give these mothers a chance to earn their own income: become a tailor, have their own shop, breed chicken, start a bakery or grow their own greens and fruits, etc.
