Improving The Lives Of Kenyan Orphans

By Essie Craft


It is definitely no easy to be a child without any parents to take care of you. At this point in their lives, kids need to be cared for with the utmost love and support. Without any mother or father, then there is little hope for such a thing. Sadly, this is a life that is all too common for those Kenyan orphans. It is the only reality they know.

In Africa, AIDS is spreading like wildfire. More and more children are being born into couples that have been afflicted with the deadly condition. As the parents die, these unfortunate children are normally raised by grandparents or other relatives, but sometimes they do not even have that kind of support.

The fact that the numbers are rising should not be tolerated. And in response to this, many outreach programs have been established, each with a singular mind to help these unfortunate children out regardless of what approach these individual programs took. These programs have done a lot to make a difference in the lives of these kids.

It can be very difficult to lose someone you love. It would be worse when they are gone due to something as sinister as AIDS. Fortunately, there are many ways of coping with it. With pain and suffering being constants in the lives of these children, they can be relieved and that is what these programs aim to do through various means.

For those who cannot be there in person, there are still many ways to help out. A common method would be to send in some money for a donation. In fact, it does not even have to be money, since it can be clothes and other items as well. There is no required amount and all of this is done out of kindness.

Another method to help out would be becoming a sponsor. This is a greater responsibility to bear than simply donating something. In this role, the life of a single orphan rests in the palm of your hand. They will be the monthly recipients of whatever you can afford to send and it will be spent on their daily needs.

To further strengthen the bond, letter writing is encouraged between the parties. The child would be made to write at least two to four times annually. This is considered by many to be an important step in establishing a connection with the sponsored orphan. It can also build a certain level of trust and emotional support that would not be possible otherwise.

There are many missions for these kind and thoughtful men and women involved in programs to undertake. It may not be possible to reach out to everyone, but that is not going to stop anyone from doing their absolute best. They may travel to different places or they may come up with events that will engage everybody into doing something productive and worth while.

Kenyan orphans will definitely benefit from all of these efforts. It is just a start for some, though. It may never be over due to the increasing number of orphans that is mounting on a daily basis.
