Orphan situation in kenya
There are over 2.5 million orphans in Kenya. This number is soo big putting in minds the total population is only 36 million people, there fore this translate thet ophans comprise up to 9% of the whole population. Among the 2.5m orphans only a third finda place in ophanage and charity care orhanisations. Rest find their way in the streets and child labour.
The main cause of parents death is Hiv/Aids and act of criminal, that is, purposely being negleted and thrown away or abadoned by parets though this contribute very little number compared to Hiv/Aids.
Something need to be done fast, the problem of orphans can be ultimately dealt with when every person can take up the burden of caring for orphans as a personal obligation.
This can be done by:-
1. people opening their homes to addapt orphans and make them part of their families. Despite the economic situation and poverty in kenya if more families addapt orphans the problem will be solved up to 80%, this will further ease the work of ophanages and child care units this will further make many people belong somewhere, having in mind the worse dillema of human kind is lack of belonging, there orphanages will only serve as transit points and preparation fields waiting for better fields. For this reason Fountainof Hope life Center believes in supporting orphans through their gurdians mostly people they bloodly relate to ie- grandparents, unts, uncles etc.
This helps them so much to tay linked to family tree and have a sence of belonging something un real in orphanage, with the recognition the great role ophanages serve in oprhan care, it is very true that although many kids call them home its not home and this downs to them with agony when one grows up to undestanding and learns that the people they call Dam, Mum, Uncle, sister, brother, sister etc are as a matter of fact without any blood link to them and only be good to them because they are Christian with pure caring heart and also maybe they are employed and just doing their work.

For this reason Fountain of Hope Life center have decided to take up the work of mobilizing people to addapt orphans and this we believe will be a giant step towards solving the orphans issue.
