Living on the streets, Kenya’s orphaned children have little hope of receiving even a minimal level of education. Many suffer from a host of physical ailments and psychological problems resulting from the loss of their parents due to AIDS. While living on the street many also encounter abuse. Without assistance, they will remain at risk, unskilled and destitute.

EXPANDING OPPORTUNITIES provides a multi-faceted approach to educating these children with an assistance program for school fees and uniforms. Additionally, there is a rescue program for girls escaping forced genital mutilation (FGM) and early forced marriages. Expanding Opportunities is able to provide intensive, individualized assistance by building relationships with these children. Since 1997, hundreds have received meals, shelter, security, educational support, and long-term loving care.
