Situation in Kenya

Kenya, located on the Indian Ocean coast of Central Africa, is home to over 40 tribal groups. Although Kenya is rich in natural resources, advances made in previous decades have reversed in the last 15 years, due in large part to the rapid spread of AIDS. In Nairobi, 400,000 children are living on the street—most of these are children whose family members have died of AIDS and who are left without anyone to care for their needs.
