Aims
a child taken care of within a caring family has a better chance than a child condemned to:

• scavenging on the streets
• crime
• prostitution

In Kenya there are tens possibly hundreds of thousands of children who have lost one or both parents. There are neither the facilities nor the social infrastructure to cope. Instead already overburdened families take these children into their homes. Sometimes the eldest child takes on the responsibilities for the youngest.

Footsteps sponsoring families dedicate a monthly subscription to pay for the basic needs and welfare of a child in this type of situation. The sponsorship is used to:

• Feed, cloth and educate a child within its own community
• Ensure that the child has a future

If you'd like to sponsor a child go to our sponsorship page.
