BrightPoint for Children

Kandaria is a community located in the western part of Kenya, about a 45 minute drive from Kisumu. The Community has a total population of approx. 6,500 and there is a very high poverty level, commonly characterized by scarcity of water. If water is life and sanitation is dignity, then lack of both bring the harsh realities of life to this community. High occurrence of water borne diseases such as cholera, typhoid and lack of proper sanitation are familiar threats. Women and children walking for long distances in pursuit of the precious commodity has also considerably reduced the productivity of the community due to long hours spent in search of safe drinking water.

The children’s education is also a priority in Kandaria. Unfortunately there are some children who cannot attend school because of lack of Basic Needs... they don't have a uniform, school fees, or even clothing or enough to eat. The Kandaria Leadership Council has selected the most vulnerable cases, and submitted those children for a BrightPoint Basic Needs program.

For only $39/month, you can provide food and clothing for your child, and make sure they have what is needed to attend school. You will build a special relationship with the child you choose, and watch their lives become brighter because of the chance to thrive that you have given them.
