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

I am currently volunteering for Action for Children in Conflict in Kenya for 6 months co-ordintating the Family Sponsorship Programme. The programme works to rehabilitate street children into the community and assist their families in setting up small businesses so that they can support themselves.

Thank you all for helping me to raise my minimum target of £700, please keep the contributions coming as your donation is being used directly for the Family Sponsorship Programme that I am working on to make a difference to many childrens lives -please also take time to look at the website to see the work that AFCIC does. Every penny counts!

As I wont be seeing you for a while you can donate the money you would have spent buying me drinks!!
