Family Sponsorship
Action for Children in Conflict Kenya, aims to alleviate the suffering of children and their families affected by various forms of conflict or crisis, be it war, famine, poverty, illness, persecution or simply neglect. Our current activities focus on the rehabilitation and long-term reintegration of street and vulnerable children in Kenya. We aim to provide these children, their families and the wider community with the skills and knowledge they need to solve their own problems, and to take responsibility for their own development.
Rather than working with the street and vulnerable children in isolation, AfCiC offers support to the entire family. By sponsoring a family, the benefits are not only enjoyed by the child but by the family and their community. The aim of the sponsorship programme is that by working with the family to create an Income Generating Activity (IGA) they will improve their socio-economic prospects and become self sufficient by the end of the sponsorship. The sponsorship is provided in the form of a loan which is gradually paid back at an agreed rate. Loans are given on a monthly basis, or if the need is for a larger amount, three months at a time.
