Kenya is found in the East of Africa. It is home to over 40 different tribal groups representing many cultures and languages. Kenya has been hard hit by the HIV/AIDS pandemic leaving behind 1.9 million orphans and vulnerable children. HIV/AIDS has been the cause of over 80 000 people(2009 est). Kenya has also experienced some civil wars and in 2007 experienced post election violence which led to the death of thousands on Kenyans.
Family Impact in Kenya
F.I has been a presence in Kenya since 2002. F.I Kenya runs programs such as Adventure Unlimited; Choose Freedom; Radical Relationships; Enjoy Your Marriage; Positive Parenting and has a major emphasis in Prefect Leadership Training. These programs respond to the issue of HIV and AIDS by spreading the supremacy of God in family life and relationships. FI Kenya also runs Conflict resolution and Humanitarian Assistance programs in schools and Colleges. This is in response to the previous acts of violence that the country has gone through. Also, this is in a bid to move the country from Dictatorship to democracy one person at a time.
