💼 What the programme involves
Theme: UNITING THE YOUTH: TRANSFORMING KENYA. -- Project overview
Cannan Orphanage was started in the year 2010 but was registered in 2011, when "Mama" was dealing with the widows, she realized that the children were the most suffering and with time her passion towards them grew so strong and strong. According to Risper, the idea to start an orphanage came as a form of a dream something she believes is the will of the Lord. The widows at the slum developed trust of her and had no worries with their children staying at her home. These widows thought she had money but to Risper, it was a matter of having heart and begging from those who were willing to help. These Kids would follow me to my place and go back to their places after having food. Initially, the kids staying at my house were 5, they latter added up to 9. All of them were from Kisumu Ndogo slums. -- TYPE OF WORK CAMP: KIDS
