Nyakach is located in western part of Kenya, Nyanza province near the shores of Lake Victoria which is the largest fresh water lake in the whole Africa. This place is dominated by a tribe called Luo community and their main local language is Dholuo. The main economic activities of this tribe is fishing and small scale farming, the tribe migrated from southern Sudan in the early ages and walked along river Nile till they settled along the lake Victoria to do fishing there and since then they have lived here for years now.

The place has been highly hit by the HIV/ aids disease and in the recent past and the prevalence rate has really made it possible for the rising number of orphaned children in the area, in most schools in Nyakach the ration of an orphaned child is so high an you find that in every one out of two pupils/students has either lost both or one of his/her parents and is now either total orphan or half orphan. It’s due to this fact that most of these children find themselves left alone to survive and in most cases they would resort to seeking assistance from either some close relatives or to live with their grandparents. In some cases even these other relatives may also pass away leaving these orphans alone to survive on their own and in such circumstances they would resort to finding an alternative means of survival hence dropping out of school to either go and be a fisherman at the lake which really exposes him/her to the HIV virus since the prevalence rate is so high among the fishermen community due to their life style and ignorance due to the fact that most of them nearly 99% have at one time dropped out of school in their early childhood. The only surviving lots who have not been so far hit by the deadly HIV virus are the elderly who are now forced to be parents again since the active lot has really been swept away by this deadly disease and the most affected age bracket is between 25-45 years olds. Most of them have so far succumbed to death leaving behind the old and the young children alone in the society.

These old grandmothers and grandfathers who are left to take care of these children are unable to provide them with the necessities that they would need to enable them perform better at school. These old lot are very old to work on the farms and to go fishing which are the main activities in the area. Its therefore vivid that these kids are left to suffer due to lack of support and ends up suffering a lot and cannot therefore fully participate at school programs hence they need external support from well wishers who would real offer the much needed help for them to succeed in life and be independent in their future lives.

Due to frustrations in life some of these kids end up leaving school and resort to other means of survival which are too risky for their lives and hence not recommendable most of these kids may end up going to live in the streets in the nearby Kisumu city and some ends up at the lake Victoria shores to start fishing activities there at that very tender ages. Their potentials to do better in life end up vaguely like that and they would live the rest of their lives suffering like that till death. Even if one is blessed to survive the primary school going but at the end of her/his primary schooling he/she would not be able to continue to secondary school since the fees at secondary is so high that the guardians (grandparents) would not be able to afford hence at long last still he /she would end up being at the shores of the lake Victoria and start a very dangerous lifestyle which would make him/her vulnerable to HIV/aids and may then end up dying of HIV/aids like the parents and this is the worse situation that we would like to revert in most of these children living in these situations its just due to fate that they find themselves in such situations in life at this tender ages. Even those Attending schools would not be able to afford the vital meals a day since most of the guardians are overwhelmed with the responsibility of taking care of them and feeding them appropriately.

With this project we would bring hope to these hopeless lot in Nyakach and this would change the lives of these children accordingly hence enable them to be independent in their future lives. This is the only hope they have to succeed in their lives and we have come out to do just that for their sole prosperity. With the project the orphaned kids would be able to get the most vital service in life that’s quality education since he/she would be able to get all the basic educational needs to enable her/him do well at school. A small amount in western terms would go along way to help a desperate orphaned child in Nyakach. For only US$ 20 a month or US$ 65 Term a sponsor would be able to help an orphaned child in Nyakach Kenya, this would be enough on monthly basis to provide the orphaned child with all the basic school needs and to cater for all the expenses at school like, paying for the feeding program at school, providing basic health care and hence the child would be so comfortable at school for a whole month/Term.
