Action for Children in Conflict (AFPIC)

Charity Registration No. 1060894

Action for Children in Conflict (AfCiC) works to transform the lives of children affected by extreme poverty, hunger, illness, persecution, abuse, & neglect. Our projects focus on helping some of the most vulnerable children & young people in Thika District, Kenya. The children & families we work with come from backgrounds of abject poverty, family breakdown, abandonment, & abuse. They are often forced to live on the streets, working & begging, in conflict with local residents & the police. Many resort to substance abuse as a means of escaping cold & hunger. We believe that these children have the capacity & desire to transform their lives, & AfCiC operates several programmes designed to help them do so:

Outreach Programmes for Vulnerable Children prevent children from ever going to the street & rehabilitate those who are already there. Some projects include school drop out prevention, child sponsorship, microfinance & business assistance, outreach clinics for street children, & after school children’s clubs.

A residential Interim Care Centre for street children, carrying out non-formal education, rehabilitation, counselling & family reintegration work.

Kenyan Children’s Legal Aid Work provides free legal advice to children & their guardians.

School Feeding programmes feed 1000 vulnerable children daily.

Holiday clubs Keep 400 vulnerable children away from abuse/exploitation on the streets by providing food & activities during school holidays

My story

To begin with we would like to thank you very much for the donations you made!

Yes, we all made it through the finish line and had a great (and sunny) day in Windsor on the 14th of June.

The day started at a very early hour to make it on time for the 1st Sprint swimming wave at 6:00 - it was cold. Once in the water, the race really kicked off and as it progressed it made us more and more eager to complete the race and look back on it with a great feeling. The atmosphere during the race was great, the weather was perfect, we managed to put down excellent times (see further down) and, most importantly, enjoyed the race more than we expected.

We are also very happy with the amount we were able to raise so far for AfCiC with your help!

Thank you again for making this such a rewarding event for all of us!
