Self Sustaining Children's Home
We have an opportunity to dramatically change the lives of many orphans in Kenya and the entire Lake Victoria Region of East Africa through the development of a Self Sustaining Children’s Home. The idea of the Self Sustaining Children’s Home (SSCH hereafter) came to Dr. Erick Otieno when he noticed that children were not being cared for as they had been in the past, resulting primarily from the breakdown of the system of polygamy within Kenyan society. As the AIDS pandemic continues at an alarming rate to produce more and more orphaned children, Dr. Otieno had the idea of creating the SSCH with sustainable functions to provide long term care and assistance for these many orphans. His ideas include self sustaining resources that actually produce a surplus of funding that is re-directed back into the home. Not only does the SSCH care for the children, but long-term plans for each child include a cash fund for when they leave the home to start a life as an adult.
