The Future Children Project One of the worst impacts of HIV/AIDS in Nyanza province of Kenya is the alarming growth in the number of orphaned children and is a major cause of infant and child illness and mortality. Kenya accounts for about 5 per cent of the world Aids cases and has the highest number of Aids orphans in the world. Nearly 7% of the adult population of Kenya is affected by HIV/AIDS, at the moment over 1.9 Million children in Kenya have been orphaned due to HIV/AIDS. These children are a great burden not only to the extended families but also to the community and the nation. They are left with nothing to fall back on upon the death of their parents, as in many cases the parents sold their property or personal belongings to pay for medication costs and other needs during their illness. Most of these children drop out of school, provide child labour, or end up in the streets of the local urban centres. Grandparents and extended families try to care for these orphans, but with great burden, and again in most cases against a background of abject poverty. Our aim and approach to the Future Children’s Project is to build a children’s home and community arts centre with a difference and provide a holistic approach in order to uplift the general welfare for HIV/AIDS orphan children through a sustainable and multifaceted support system.
