St Rita Community Based Orphan Care

The organization's mission is to offer sustainable Home-Based Orphan support.The main purpose of forming the Womens group was to bring its members together so as to enhance their social and financial support towards the needy members of the community. This was mainly identified to be children who had been left as orphans after loss of their loved parents as a result of HIV/AIDS and related illnesses. Some of these children are left under the care of aged grandparents who had exhausted their resources on their daughters and sons while undergoing treatment.

Although the group was started by less than four members, its membership has increased to fifteen. The group strategizes its support by engaging each member to take care of between 2-3 orphans. This is done through support in clothing, education and food.

The group is located in West Kolwa, Nyalenda B sub-location in Winam Division of Kisumu District, Kenya.
