🏢 About the local organisation
THE BACKGROUND ON HOREC. Hope for Orphans Rescue Centre is a non-for -profit Charitable Children’s Organization that has been operating for 19 years starting from 2005. HOREC is a model of care that offers urgent critical care to children living with HIV/AIDs from all over Kenya; the focus being on Children who fall through the cracks of the current existing Government led HIV/AIDS programs.
Through the various actors in the community, HOREC identifies these children who are in need of urgent HIV care and support whereby we rescue the children; we offer them care and support, and eventually, the children are reintegrated back into their communities where they can hopefully thrive again.HOREC also supports the creation strong resilient families through empowerment, thereby creating families who are able to absorb the various shocks and stresses brought about by disease and poverty as they strive to care and raise their children.
As a member of the community, HOREC is very vocal in creating awareness where we try to dispel misinformation within the community and provide much needed information on sexual reproductive health and HIV/Aids. Currently Horec has a population of 46 children, where 18 are boys while 28 are girls. We have a team of dedicated staffs numbering 14 who work around the clock to ensure proper care and support services are met.
