VISION:
To have an Empowered Community reflected through
realized and Established child Education related
projects, socio-economic development projects
amongst youth, women, children and community at
large.
MISSION:
Educate Embu Community; by supporting the
education and livelihood of vulnerable, orphaned
and needy children, through collaboration with
community and related partners. Their support
helps initiate and promote development projects
amongst youth, children and women within the
community.
OBJECTIVE:
To establish an institution of empowered
community, able to implement and sustain
education development and other social economic
development projects, that are able to support
the education of orphaned, needy and vulnerable
children. This could be achieved through
collaboration and networking with related
institutions and other stakeholders within
communities liasing with the Foundation.
The people of Embu have witnessed a grievous
loss within their families. Their loss is not a
natural act of God or a result of age related
death. It is because many within the community
have HIV & AIDS.
Those that are affected are unable to obtain
the appropriate medicines which would extend
their lives and enable them to care for their
families. We have an ethical obligation to act
on their behalf by initiating a multinational
cry for a response to HIV & AIDS. This is the
time we need to develop a sustainable and
effective way to address this global concern.
Educating the youth and keeping them engaged in
positive and constructive activities is critical
to our mission.
EDUCATION:-
In order to reach the youth and their family
members, we need to create educational
opportunities that are designed to fit their
needs. This may require the development of an
adult literacy program and a non traditional
high school that would accommodate students who
had to work to support families. It would appear
that there is a need for this kind of
flexibility because the number of school
dropouts is alarmingly high, despite the fact
that the government offers tuition free
education.
Both target groups need information about the
societal and personal impacts of HIV & AIDS
additionally, literacy and skills to compete in
the global market place.
Our schools are in desperate of support.
Pictures and research will be posted on this
site in the near future.

Orphan struggles with life
For
several years, her mother struggled endlessly
putting on a brave face for the sake of her
three children. Her husband had succumbed to
opportunistic infections brought about by
HIV/Aids virus and she
knew too well that, it was just a matter of time
before death catches up with her too. Therefore
she had to live a day at a time.
