IHCenter is pleased to be a listed and active participant with:
Bliss Women & Children Project — USA
Bliss Women & Children Project
— USA ("BWCP-USA")
strives to provide a safe, healthy, and nurturing environment to the
widows and orphans of Nakuru, Kenya, whose lives have been so
profoundly affected by the AIDS epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa.
When a young mother in Kenya dies from AIDS, more often than not,
her
young children are left to fend for themselves. This is no easy
feat for a five-year-old boy or girl, and on too many tragic occasions,
these children are taken advantage of by unscrupulous adults who force
them into a life of crime and commercialized sexual exploitation.
If not rescued, these youngest and most helpless of the AIDS crisis
will see their own lives cut short either by street violence or the
very disease that killed their parents.
It is the mission of BWCP-USA
to take in as many of these precious souls as possible, giving them a
new chance at living up to their full potential. The BWCP-USA orphanage, founded in 2004
in Nakuru, Kenya, currently provides meals, shelter, clothing, and a
loving community to thirty orphans. With time and help from
like-minded donors, BWCP will expand to ten acres of farm land
surrounding the current compound, providing enough revenue from rent to
become self-sustainable and expand to seventy-five children.
