Kajiado County Council at Hope For Kajiado at Hope For Kajiado - Charlotte, North Carolina, United States
OUR STORYWe aren't the nobodies. We aren't the nothings. And, we don't come from nowhere. We are Kajiado. A place far away and unknown. A place that is easy to ignore and never to think about. Because no one knows about Kajiado. Or the children there. Then someone does. Someone who sees that behind the veneer of the unknown is something that looks strangely familiar. Someone who sees it in their eyes and on their faces and in their potential. What they see is hope. Are you the someone who sees it? Can you see the hope? We believe that every child matters. Despite their geographical location, situation and lack of ability to help themselves. We are more than just about helping a child have food, although that is essential, we are about every child having hope. This effort, this hope, Hope for Kajiado, is about more than just helping a few kids survive, it is taking the whole "it takes a village to raise a child" thing seriously and commands that we all find our village to bring hope to our children to make sure that they are fully alive. That they thrive. That they have hope. And for us, we bring that and join ours with theirs in Kajiado. We can't save the world or all the children in it. Or can we?Kajiado Children's Home is an orphanage for children in the Rift Valley area of Africa. It is located in the village of Kajiado and is 1.5 hours southwest of Nairobi, Kenya. Since opening in 1997, the home has provided loving care, shelter, medical and educational needs for children whose guardians died from HIV/AIDS or other diseases, as well as children suffering the effects of social and economic deprivation. Many of the children who've grown up in the Home have graduated college, breaking the cycle of poverty and disease for their family and becoming successful members of society.
