The HIV/AIDS epidemic is spreading rapidly, spiraling out of control to infect 1 out of 10 Kenyans. This statistic leaves over 5,000 children as head of household with over 2.5 million parentless, and in most cases supporting their siblings and/or sickened relatives at a very young age. 1.8 million children are fending for themselves on the street. Extreme poverty conditions are especially evident here and the traditional family support system is overburdened.
