In this video, Francis Kamau - the Founder and Director of the Happy Nairobi Kids orphanage in Nairobi Kenya - gives us a tour of the orphanage.
Many of the children have lost both parents to AIDS or have simply been abandoned and Francis has taken them in.
Francis Kamau, the founder, does a great job running the orphanage and giving the kids hope but meeting the monthly budget is always a struggle. Francis does his best to obtain donations of food and clothing from the community - but most of the community is poverty stricken as well. Recently their tutor/teacher quit working with the orphanage because she could obtain a higher salary elsewhere. And sometimes the budget stretched so thin that the children are limited in what they're allowed to eat.
Francis' goal is to keep the kids happy and healthy and to make sure they're all given a good education so that they can pull themselves out of poverty and help their community do the same.
Please visit www.happynairobikids.or.ke to contact Francis so you can find out how you can help support him in giving the kids the opportunities they deserve.
