OUR KENYAN KIDS

A Canadian Charity - Registration # 810593012RR0001

Our Kenyan Kids was founded by Douglas A. Warren (a Minister at Wall Street United Church in Brockville, Ontario) following a vacation to Kenya in 2004.  Since then, Our Kenyan Kids has grown into its own corporation and registered charity, addressing the needs of poor and sick children in Kenya.  Our Kenyan Kids focuses its efforts mostly in the in the slums, in the Westlands district of Nairobi, the districts of Embu & Mwingi, and the district bordering the Kibera slum in Kawangware. Currently there are approximately 200 impoverished children and families who benefit either directly or indirectly from Our Kenyan Kids' programs. The objectives of Our Kenyan Kids’ programs are to relieve poverty, distress and suffering and to improve public health in Kenya and elsewhere.

All of Our Kenyan Kids’ programs are based on the belief that healthy, well nourished, well educated children are empowered; and empowerment offers these children the best chance of breaking their cycle of poverty and leading productive lives. Our Kenyan Kids believes that it is possible to make a difference one child at a time.
