YouthCom. meets Neema Trust Boys Orphanage

Neema Trust is an all boys orphanage in Karinde, Kenya.

The orphanage started in 2005 and currently homes 9 boys completing their primary level schooling.

These boys were previously living on the streets of Nairobi without a family unit,proper education or basic food or shelter. Often the boys would have no other choice then to resort to violence, gang entry and begging.

In the time that I visited NTBO, the boys showed great community strength, remarkable intelligence and a sturdy spirit. However day-to-day basic struggles and a severe lack of funding means these boys will probably fall within the societal cracks which are so prevalent in this part of Africa. Education is paramount to their success, but this comes at a price…

Enter YouthCom.

Our current focus is to provide sponsorship and support to the Neema Trust Boys. We are aiming to achieve this through various forms of fundraising,donation collection and monthly “care packages”.

We need all the support we can carry back to Kenya!

Please email: youthcomaustralia@gmail.com to discuss how you can help.

Asante sana (Thank-you very very much!)
