This is a compilation on the goals that Agaptivity currently is working for regarding the orphans in Kisumu Kenya.
This compilation is also to be found here.
1. Food and sanitary items
Secure daily food and sanitary items. $600 is about enough to provide 68 persons with food and sanitary items per month. They are Wycliffe and his family and the 64 orphans. We're talking about as little as $20 per day.
2. Water
Secure access to clean and fresh water. These past days a project is going on drilling for a well to secure access to water at the orphanage. At the same time they are trying to fence the centre to protect the children. As for now (July 21 2015) there is need of $375 for the well and $450 for the fencing.
Clean water would almost eliminate the risk of water carrying diseases like cholera.
Access to water would also be a blessing for the community by being able to extending the help.
100% clean water is possible (see below on 5. Solvatten).
3. Mosquito nets
Mosquito is sadly to say Malaria. As of today they have used some of the money sent to purchase som nets.
4. Blankets and mattresses
Now it is one of the colder months in Kenya. The children lack both mattressess and blankets. They try and avoid the colder weather by using used (read dirty) clothes as mattress and blanket....
5. Solvatten
About three months ago Agaptivty thought this part was fixed. At that time we had an agreement with a sponsor. Agaptivity calculated that the sponsor money would both provide with Solvatten and also food and sanitary items for about 1 1/2 months. Sadly the sponsors have not followed through keeping the promise. We do not know if the sponsor will. Agaptivity do not count on it since we haven't got any answers. Thus Solvatten remains as a goal. Solvatten is bundled, 6 per package, and with the shipment included we are talking about $600-700.
NOTE! These are of course the most fundamental things for their healt. Well, survival really. Agaptivity do have bigger goals and ambitions as securing their future where education is the first step. Then Agaptivity will look into other ways or means in order to make the community self sufficient.
