The objective is to work with orphaned and vulnerable children (OVC) is rebuild the lives and give new opportunities for health, growth and sustainable progress to children and child headed families who have lost parents to disease and poverty and now face futures of continued poverty, neglect, and struggle with little or no opportunity for change.
The mission of this program is to work with the orphans and orphan headed families in Western Kenya. Our vision for these widows/ orphans, families and communities is that each may have the ability to sustain healthy living conditions, provide for their own needs, increase their own opportunities, and to continue sustainable progress and change.
Not all who work at Omwabini are employed. There is no doubt the help of volunteers is a valued donation of time and skills. There are those who volunteer their services because they care about the impact of HIV/AIDS on the lives of the children and families in the developing world. There are those who want to be busy at what is proving to be a very vibrant and active rural node.
