The Providence Children's Home and Community
Center is a nonprofit organization created to build and operate an
orphanage in Ngong, Kenya. The facility will be a sustainable
campus on a 15 acre site. Architects, educators and activists in
America and in Kenya have come together to help with the African
AIDS crisis.
As of 2003, there were an estimated 12.1 million children orphaned
by AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa alone. The orphan crisis in
sub-Saharan Africa will worsen dramatically in the coming years.
By 2010, there will be approximately 20 million children in
sub-Saharan Africa who have lost at least one parent to
HIV/AIDS, bringing the total number of orphans in
the region to 42 million.
The Providence Children's
Home and Community Center aims to provide a safe home and education
for as many of these children as possible.
