Welcome to Maisha Bora, Kenya
Maisha Bora is an arid village in central Kenya, and the subset of a much larger town called Isiolo. The words Maisha Bora mean 'a better life' but this community is stuck in a cycle of abject poverty - with high levels of disease, unemployment and neglect.
The population of 1500 include some 200 children orphaned by HIV, with a similar number of adults HIV positive and struggling to support the needs of their families.
Food for the Hungry first worked in this community in 2006, running an HIV/AIDS centre. We believe the children and families Maisha Bora have great potential and can be empowered out of their current situation.
Working alongside the community, local staff from Food for the Hungry Kenya are today being supported by UK donors to run a community development programme to help the poorest children and families realise their potential and transform their community.
