Children are highly vulnerable to the effects of war, poverty and disease. There are 1 million AIDS orphans in Kenya and 50,000 children live on the street. Thousands of children are orphaned each year as a result of accidents and during childbirth, and many more were orphaned during the war In Sierra Leone.

Footsteps is providing long-term support to some of these desperately needy children:
 

• Tumaini Children’s Home cares for orphans in Mombasa, Kenya.
• Sunshine Home provides a haven for street boys in Naivasha, Kenya.
• Fostering – homes within the family for orphans in Kenya’s Lake Victoria region.
