School Fees & Food. Through Child Sponsorship, we cover school fees until a child's parent or caregiver can. We also support families with food security, depending on their situation and need. Our social workers check frequently on the condition of each child, his/her family, home and the caregiver's small business. Then we customize our support based on specific needs of that child or family. Our goal is to keep children with a family and provide education and food until the family can support themselves.

 

Preventative Health Training & Medical Care. Through Maisha Matters we provide families with preventative health training (hygiene, disease, first aid & nutrition). In addition our Child Sponsorship or Maisha Matters program provides urgent medical care when needed for Kulea children or babies.



Business Training & Set Ups. Once a baby in our Maisha Matters program is stable and no longer mal-nourished we begin business training for the caregiver. In our Sponsorship program, social workers determine when a caregiver is ready for business training. Upon completion of business training we help the caregiver to set up a small business by an initial investment (for things like charcoal to sell, soap making supplies, etc). Our social workers then check on the business a week later, two weeks later, and so on to be sure the business slowly begins growing.
