The Way Kenyan Orphans Are Handled

By Grace Daniels


Kenyan orphans are the children who have no parents and depend on others or themselves for survival. Their parents could have either left them or died when they are at a tender age hence leaving them homeless. They face great challenges in the society because they are not readily accepted by the rest of their age mates.

They are found in all societies because a tragedy can happen to anyone. The parents leave their children when they are young some even not aware of what has happened to them. With the country being underdeveloped, this problems rise time to time and the remedy is never found because it is an unending disaster.

There are places set aside to house those kids by giving them food, shelter and education. They rely on well wishers who provide the basics and during certain times, they do not get those items because the supply is not constant and anytime could cease. The people who own those institutions ensure that they are protected and feel safe than living on their own.

It is not a wish of any parent to leave their children under care of someone else during their life time. One can not avoid death because it comes at anytime and anywhere. Therefore parents are advised to secure a future for their loved ones while they have a chance so that they will not suffer even when they die.

Religious institutions have also helped the people in taking care of the young ones by setting up institutions called children home that caters for the high population in the country. They provide all the necessities through the contributions given to them by the members and even some give food and clothes to these little children for free. The workers in those institutions are self willing and most even do it for free or self voluntary to help the society.

Proper health care and hygiene is needed for good health of the human body. When these children are on the streets they are prone to this diseases and sickness that could lead to death. The country may not be able to give the medical attention for free and they are therefore left out when it comes to the services.

The guidance and counseling given to them is to ensure that they grow up knowing who they are and understanding the society better. Te professionals who handle them have great experience in this set up and deliver to satisfaction. The children therefore grow up knowing their situation and circumstances that befell them.

Kenyan orphans like the rest of them in Africa can tell of their ups and downs during their lifetime. They do not enjoy all social amenities like the rest of children who are on the same age. The little they get is better than the life they had on the streets hence are grateful.
