The Kin Initiative began operating in 1990 by helping children attend school and
providing skill training. Dress making, carpentry, carving, baking, metalwork,
and typing are just a few of the skills that the organization is sharing with
the community.
Children and staff also cultivate a garden plot to supply food to the program
and to sell. The Kin Initiative hops to begin farming a larger plot and to add
additional dairy cows, chickens and pigs to better meet the nutritional needs of
the children, and to raise local funds making the program self sustainable.
Volunteers are needed to teach basic health and sanitation to the children -
there are also HIV focused classes to help prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS. The
cultural diversity each volunteer brings to the program is also priceless.
Visitors from other nations help to broaden the children's horizons while
teaching tolerance and acceptance. |
