Utange orphans, Kenya
With your help, we can give hope and a better future to these AIDS orphans
Whilst on a family holiday in 2006, Debbie Scott met Pastor John Kahindi in Utange, Kenya, after getting away from the tourist areas. John and his wife Elizabeth were overseeing the care of ten children in the village who had lost one or both their parents to AIDS. These were just a few of the hundreds of children orphaned through AIDS.
On returning home, the plight of the children laid heavily on Debbie's heart. As a Christian she would pray for the children and felt God say that He wanted her to do something about their plight.
So, with a small team, she began fundraising to build a home and to feed, clothe and educate some of the children. Phase One of Casuarina House was opened in January 2009 with the original ten children moving in. Phase Two was completed a year later and the home was officially opened on 29th January 2010 with a live broadcast from Casuarina House by Lorna Milton on BBC Three Counties Radio.
Casuarina House is now home to a further fourteen children making twenty-four in total. It has become home for the children rather than an institution. It is somewhere that they feel nurtured, cared for and loved. We want to give the children hope and a future.

Feed500
Now Debbie has embarked on an additional campaign to feed more of the AIDS orphans in Utange. Feed500 is bringing some nurture to 600 orphans in Utange through a feeding programme run from a new building on Pastor John's church land of which the Sure Foundation has aquired the use.
These children are starving and very distressed, and do not even have a regular meal each day, sometimes not for several days. But we know that with your help we can change this and make sure they eat every day. Please consider becoming a supporter of the Feed500 programme.

We are so grateful to all who have supported the project thus far and hope that others will join in praying for and financing the on-going work.
