Education

Orphans and vulnerable children all over the world suffer in silence. Born into poverty, these children and young adults live without access to education, medical care, adequate housing, clothing, appropriate food, or a chance for a better future. Maisha operates in the Nyanza Province of Kenya with the highest rates of HIV, malaria and poverty in the country which has left millions of children orphaned. Without education, the cycle of poverty and death continues. If not given the opportunity for education, girls are usually forced into marriage bearing children by age 13 and boys enter the labor force early. Education breaks this vicious cycle and enhances the quality of life for a child and their community.
