Help us get children out of slums and into schools.
Far too often being HIV positive translates to a life of deprivation, denial, and disgrace. At Living Positive Mlolongo we see things differently. Our team is dedicated to providing treatment, education, and hope to our family of HIV positive women and their children.
Living Positive Mlolongo sends medical personnel to provide desperately needed healthcare to people living in the slums around Mlolongo and ensures health checks are carried out on a weekly basis. Our team also includes three social workers whose kindness and expertise helps families dealing with poverty and disease learn to better cope with their daily struggles.
The Problem
Despite our best efforts there are many women who die from HIV/AIDs in our community and leave behind orphaned children without anyone to care for them. To make a difference in the lives of these children the best and safest option is to send them to a boarding school. Attending boarding school allows the children to escape the slum, provides them with an education, and ensures they will have food and a safe home while at the school. These are all things that are impossible for them to have while living in the slums.
How You Can Help
Receiving an education will change these children's lives completely and their enthusiasm for education is incredible.The cost of the first year of boarding school is $650 USD and covers all of the items that the child will need for the duration of their education - everything from their mattress to their books and uniforms. For each year after the first year the fee is $550 USD.
The Impact
When you sponsor a child's education you not only change that child's life, you also start a ripple effect that will change the community for generations to come. Education of the next generation is the key to a brighter future for all of Kenya. Your donation to our cause is a small step toward a Kenya free from extreme poverty.
