We are very fortunate to have a dedicated staff of volunteer teachers and are blessed by God to have a roof over our heads, classrooms for the students, and shelter for the children. But we at the DCRC do have many problems and issues to face on a daily basis, including:

  • Inadequate shelter for the increased number of needy children left without parents due to HIV/AIDS epidemic in Kenya and throughout Africa
  • Inadequate funds to run the center programs effectively
  • Inadequate food and physical facilities for cooking
  • Functional but unsanitary conditions for water supply and plumbing.
  • Expensive medical treatment and drugs for sick children
  • Lack of teaching instructional materials (IM) including:
    books, notepads, paper, pencils, pens, and basic school supplies
  • Inadequate clothing and sanitary pads for girls
  • Unaffordable high school education running cost
  • Insufficient funds to begin our Relocation Project

To address the problems is a daily struggle, with very few staff, very little funding, and a growing number of children and issues to address. Visit our How to Help page to see you can assist us in improving the DCRC.
