The Liberty House - Narobi, Kenya
This man, father of Daniel, five years, and Philip, four years, has left his comfortable life to pursue giving hope to the street kids that he is mentoring and teaching. He has been doing this for many years and has seen great success and break through with the rehabilitation of the kids’ glue sniffing addiction. Sniffing glue is a major component of their lives and is part of how they survive the hardships of everyday life such as lack of food and shelter. Boniface, Omega Kids’ contact in Kenya, has dedicated his entire life to helping them to quit sniffing glue and helping the orphans find a life direction. With his guidance and care some success stories include college graduates, businessmen, and even a national Kenyan futbol player. These are exciting stories and just the beginning! What Progress has been made thus far? With the money raised from the 2007 CD release concert, Omega Kids sent 11,000 dollars over to help start funding the ground breaking on the land. Today there is a fence that runs along the 4 ½ acre property, there are over 500 tress planted (apple, oranges, mango, and various other indigenous trees). An underground water system is in place for agricultural use etc. Who lives on the land?
What does the Liberty House in Kenya hope to accomplish? The Liberty House wants to create a safe space for street children to be rehabilitated from the drug of sniffing glue. Taking them from the harsh environment of street life and giving them a piece of land that they can call home. Facilitates the learning of life skills so that they can use to get jobs and be productive Kenyan citizens and give back to their home community. What is going to be built?
