Tumaini Children’s Home, Nairobi, Kenya
Posted on | May 19, 2007 | Comments Off
I thought I would pass along some design work I got a chance to do for Tumaini Ministries which runs the children’s home we will be visiting in Nairobi, Kenya.
Tumaini is a children’s home as opposed to an orphanage, because the children that come there are not adopted out, but make Tumaini their home. Many of them have lost parents and had no other care giver, or where abandoned, which is a growing problem.
Most of you know that the orphaned children is reaching epidemic levels in Africa. They expect by 2010, only three years from now, 18,000,000 children in Africa will be without a caregiver. Because of things like AIDS and war, child headed households are common. (A child headed household is where an older sibling, often as young as 9 – 13, take on the care and provision for younger brothers and sisters.) The social fallout for this is difficult to wrap the mind around.
Tumaini is a great ministry which Community Uplift Ministries, a partnering community development non-profit which our friend Elaine works for, is hoping to replicate Tumaini in other countries, one being Mozambique.
