More information
Western Kenya is suffering from the devastation caused by HIV-AIDS. In Busia District alone, almost half of the children have lost one or both their parents to AIDS and 30% of the adults are HIV positive. The primary goal of the Children of Bukati Project is to enable all AIDS orphans and destitute children in the rural village of Butula to attend the Bukati Primary School. We ensure that girls are being educated, by aiming for approximately equal numbers of girls and boys to go to school. Currently 48% of the new AIDS orphans in the program are girls. We raise awareness about this community in Canada. Connect Canadians with the people in this community.
