In West Pokot Kenya, there are thousands of orphans and street children as a result of the mother’s death at the child’s birth, caregiver’s deaths caused by HIV/AIDS, communicable diseases, and hunger from a lack of money and resources, and child abandonment. These orphans are left without the care, support, and resources of the Kenyan Government. This is a proposal to eradicate child poverty in West Pokot, Kenya, and change each child’s destiny one step at a time through Soles 4 Hope “A Children’s Home.”
Our charitable organization, Soles 4 Hope, will allow us to establish Soles 4 Hope: A Children’s Home to help solve the problem of homelessness, nurture education, discipline, and discipleship, and guard and protect the Man or Woman God has destined them to be. Sarah Kendagor from West Pokot said: “This child, you think you know what they will become, but God knows who they will become.” Let’s work together to transform Kenya’s youth into great contributors to their villages and communities in West Pokot.
After 50-plus years of supporting literally hundreds of orphans in West Pokot-Kenya, a dire need for a children’s home has been deemed necessary and immediate in order to provide safety, care, and education for Orphaned and Homeless children. United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) estimates there are about 300,000 homeless children living on the streets of Kenya, and more than 55,000 of them live in the capital city – Nairobi. Soles 4 Hope believes that partnering with other non-governmental organizations that are taking care of a fraction of these street children is part of God’s call to eradicate child poverty as well as save lives in one of the most remote parts of Kenya – West Pokot. When Soles 4 Hope “A Children’s Home” is established, 100 children will have a place to call home since 70% may never get a chance to live in a home, and 20% of them die before the age of twelve (12) while 50% become street adults and criminals. If our proposed project of establishing a safe and secure large home is not implemented soon, more vulnerable children in this community are at risk of exploitation, death, and drug addiction. We are leaving our villages paralyzed and victimized by growth, change, and prosperity. Our experience and background in West Pokot, as well as our local partnerships throughout the villages and towns across West Pokot, will prove to be valuable resources. Soles 4 Hope is and will be a significant impact and unique opportunity for West Pokot Children, increasing their education, well-being, and discipleship.
