Widows and orphans engage in rice planting or harvesting and selling of sand, both gruelling undertakings. These include the Free Pentecostal Fellowship-Kenya Nyambare Mission and Heart for Kenya Foundation. “To save the needy women and children from the perilous businesses, the mission and Heart for Kenya Foundation allocated some resources to provide them relief food,” he said. Bishop Ouma said Aids has led to an increase in orphans and widows, raising the number of dependants and child-headed households. The foundation is also building residential houses for the orphans, whose guardians or grandparents have been living in dilapidated houses.
