The Marafiki Children's Center
Orphanage in Nairobi, Kenya, houses 33 AIDS orphans in a
safe and loving environment.
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.
An incredible opportunity has come our way! We have been
offered # acres at a very, very good price near the
Marafiki Children's Center Orphanage in Nairobi. Owning
this land means we can expand the Children's Center
Orphanage and give many other desperate children a
happy, healthy, productive life. Please help us.
We still need $250,000 to complete the purchase.

CHILDREN WELFARE
Our children reported back to
the orphanage on 1st May 2004. They resumed back to school on 3rd
May 2004. They have shown a very great improvement and we hope with
time they are going to do marvelous. April was busy holidays because
all class 8 sponsored children were offered tuition in the
orphanage. We hired a qualified teacher to coach them and they
really appreciated. Their teacher Mr. Moses recommended that our
children could do marvelous if we continue rendering such services
to them.
The office
recommended Mr. Moses to continue coaching the orphanage children so
that they can improve in their studies. Our Vision is to continue
pressing on and God is going to see us through.

NJOKI MBUGUA (SECRETARY)
Don't you
think that these Children need your support?
