Footsteps International - a charity set up to help those who are in real need. We are currently supporting several projects in Kenya

• ‘Tumaini’ an orphanage and education project in Mombasa
• Sunshine Home for Street Kids in Naivasha
• NATETI - a training centre for teenagers in Naivasha
• Bombolulu - wheelchairs for disabled people of any age

Here’s why we are supporting these projects.

The impact of AIDS is devastating – the illness leads to poverty which spills over into joblessness and exploitation, conditions ideal for further spread of this awful disease. There are thought to be over a million children in Kenya orphaned by AIDS. Many are cared for by wider family networks, but these families are often poor and already stretched to breaking point. Those less fortunate end up on the street, to cope as best they can. ‘Footsteps’ helps some of the children by providing a home and an education through the Tumaini and Sunshine Home projects.

Young people who can’t afford secondary school fees often leave school with no qualifications and no chance of a job. Naivasha Technical Training Institute (NATETI) provides 100 young people a year with a mixture of craft and business skills. Footsteps supports 40 of these young people each year.

People born with physical handicaps, or disabled later in life by disease or injury have no means of getting around. In Africa, there is no free health service, and many disabled people simply have to stay at home, immobile and a burden on their families. In partnership with APDK Bombolulu, ‘Footsteps’ provides wheelchairs to help the disabled.
