Our mission

Mission Statement:Our basic humanity means that everyone facing hardship in life deserves a helping hand, the chance of an education, and the opportunity to independently work towards a better future, for themselves and those nearest to them.

CAF was established to increase awareness and educate the public in all areas relating to HIV/AIDS and its effects on communities like Kisumu.  Our mission, with help from our many friends and sympathisers, is to relieve sickness-related problems among sufferers and their families, in particular (but not exclusively) in Kenya and elsewhere in Africa.

• The CAF effort focuses on those in the local community affected (and infected) by life-threatening diseases such as HIV/AIDS, as well as the sadly attendant problems of poverty, homelessness, lack of education, exploitation and even sexual abuse.  The CAF organization and its volunteer helpers assist those that need it most to realize their hopes, their ambitions and their potential in life.
  
  CAF’s aim has been to create a well-established dwelling, resource centre and recreational facility to be used by needy children and their families.  The home is a place of refuge and comfort, and a place to exchange and promote ideas on factors affecting people’s lives.
  
  CAF is helping to fund the project, and to create a safer place to learn, by building physical infrastructure -- construction of school facilities, a reading and learning room, kitchens, dormitories, a nursing room for babies, a medical dispensary, and workshops. An early priority was providing food and clean water
