This year comes characterized by a couple of activities, one of the main thing is getting kids back to school and busy looking for best schools for those that are to start their secondary school this year which we happen to have three kids that are report to form one this year. We were advantaged  to  accompany some kids from the orphanage by the name Maddison House in Ndeiya  to go out for shopping of the required back to school things  with us were Warren, Christie and Denzel all from New York city.

These guys presented some school bags and books to this kids with our help that they had brought from New York, It was a wonderful event and the Kids were all very happy.

Lives of former street children – many orphaned by HIV/AIDS – now living at the Good Samaritan Children's Home, an orphanage and school in the Mathare Slum of Nairobi, Kenya. The focus is on complicated relationship between poverty, violence, disease, Christianity, tradition and the orphan crisis in Sub-Saharan Africa.
The Mathare Valley Slum, in the heart of the city of Nairobi, holds more than half a million people.  As the population has increased, so have poverty, crime, and diseases such as HIV/AIDS.  The living conditions are horrific as human beings live with an uncontrolled number of animals in shelters of galvanized iron sheets nailed together to form 6 x 6 cubicles.   There is no sewer system except a dirty river of garbage and human and animal wastes that runs through the middle of the slum.

The community lacks a basic health and sanitation infrastructure, which increases the risk of HIV/AIDS and other diseases like TB developing from an impaired immune system and infections.  There are many AIDS orphans that need housing, care, and schooling.

Good Samaritan Children’s Home

(Mathare Slum, Nairobi, Kenya)

Good Samaritan Children’s Home and Rehabilitation Center is located in the Mathare slums surrounding Nairobi Kenya. Mathare has no sanitation facilities or electricity; the slum has one water pipe and the women and children have to carry water in worn plastic jugs for drinking and washing. The area is plagued by disease, crime and gangs.
Good Samaritan currently provides housing, food and some basic education to over 220 children that have been orphaned by the loss of their parents to AIDS or children that have been abandoned because of the overwhelming poverty in the slums and families that could no longer feed and support them. A number of these children also have health problems including AIDS and TB for which most are receiving medications. It is especially difficult to care for those few children who have physical disabilities.

The children grow stronger day by day as they are nurtured by Mercy, the founder and director of Good Samaritan, and a small dedicated group of community volunteers. Mercy and her staff have deep faith and personal commitment, even as they struggle each day to find the essential resources to feed, clothe and educate these orphaned and abandoned children.

We as Destitute support team is there fore kindly and humbly requesting any assistance for this kids that are  struggling to make a living 

This stoley building is the living room for the 310 kids and i think that urgent measures need to be taken since it is not a stable place to hold such a number of kids. a better place need to be constructed and yah any assistance accorded is highly welcome and will be appreciated.

The Destitute world

With the rising of the destitute rate in the world, we as a people have decided on how to try and take care of those victims that has been befell by the fate especially the kids in the Kenyan society. We have various projects that are running and others are underway one being the partnering with three children homes in Kenya's largest slum (Mathare Slums) you can check out the pics below to get a clear understanding. The rate with which this deadly giant by the name AIDs has tried to take its place is in the increase hence leaving the rate of the destitute orphans shooting like a sky rocket. As human beings we are deciding to have a golden heart and touch lives to trigger a difference in the hearts of these young beings that has nothing to do with the mistake done by their parents.
We wish to request any assistance from you with a Golden heart to help us take care of these kids. Those of you that are in the western world can offer us any assistance even if it is Volunteer placement which will see to it that these human beings like us live a better life.
