Welcome!

You are very welcome on the website of Stichting Furaha

We would to like to introduce the ‘Kilifi Orphan Project’ in Kenya to you

Tekstvak: IMAGINE You are an orphan and not rarely as a result of Aids. You can only hope and pray that somebody can take care of you and give you a place to stay and something to eat. You can only dream of going to school: Your first concern is how to survive. This fate comes across many orphans and other vulnerable children in Kenya. In Kilifi, one of the poorest areas of Kenya, are many orphans and vulnerable children . One can find them in the rural areas, but also in town. They are often homeless, alone and lacking nutrition. Going to school is out of the question for them because there is nobody around to pay for their uniform and school fees. There is also nobody to contribute to the building of classrooms to ensure them of a seat at the overfull school. KILIFI ORPHAN PROJECT The Dutch Stichting Furaha, in English the Furaha Foundation, started the ’Kilifi Orphan Project’ to improve the circumstances of the orphans and vulnerable children in Kilifi. The foundation works closely in cooperation with established co-workers in Kilifi, who have organized themselves in a CBO for the welfare of orphans in Kilifi. They have built up a network of contacts of local organizations in the immediate area. With the ‘Kilifi Orphan Project’ the foundation first of all aims to provide the orphans with the basic needs to live, as Water and food Primary medical care Support in direct circumstances of need BUILDING ON THEIR FUTURE Secondly the foundation is building on their future by making education accessible for these children. In order to achieve this the foundation helps to finance: Classrooms and -furniture Uniforms and school materials Cooking facilities and canteens Other necessary facilities Because Stichting Furaha is of opinion that every year without education is a lost year for these children, we work with a sponsor programme to make it possible for them to go to school as soon as possible. Our building plans are closely tuned in to the local situation, in order to have the community directly benefit from the plans. A HEALTHY FUTURE Stichting Furaha does not leave these children to their fate. By providing the children with food and making education accessible the foundation opens a future for them. To let this future also be a healthy future in the long term, we attend to information and prevention of diseases like malaria, Aids, etc. In this the foundation follows two paths: Realization of information and prevention of diseases within school. Achieving involvement of family or guardians of the orphans in the process of this informing and preventing. We especially attend to prevent casting off orphans due to fear of Aids. Because Kenya knows a taboo towards the issue of Aids, we work together closely with local partners. They know the language and are acquainted with the local habits to get the right opening to accomplish this aim. Through the aims of the ‘Kilifi Orphan Project’ we build on a healthy future for these orphans for now and later. In this way the foundation also helps these chanceless children to find a little happiness in life.
