Bungoma Family Helper Project
Unverified non-profit organisation
Bungoma Family Helper Project (Kenya) is a NGO concerned with poverty alleviation. The poverty reduction project is geared especially towards enhancing the availability of nutritious food to orphans by training and providing small loans to women who look after them. Women are trained in micro enterprise, tailoring and agriculture, and are granted small loans to set up income generating, small enterprises. Whole families also benefit from the project through the provision of shelters. Bungoma Family Helper groups employ comics, poetry and films as means of spreading knowledge about how to prevent H1V/A1DS and generating behavioural change. The project has also provided home-care for people living with HIV/AIDS and orphans.
