Springs Ministries, Kenya Widows & Orphans
Program
The Springs Ministries is a voluntary community based organization
run on Christian principles. It is registered under ministry
of culture and social services. The organization was founded
in 1995 as a remedial response to the ravaging effects of
HIV/AIDS by a group of concerned Christians. This initiative
followed the realization that HIV/AIDS infected and affected
widows and orphans were constantly rejected, stigmatized
and discriminated against within their homes and even, the
entire community hence presenting a great need for a framework
of development and support. Springs Ministries encourages
income-generating projects. This enables widows and children
and even child headed households to become self-reliant and
able to provide for their own needs of food, shelter and
school fees (for high school orphans). However, the needs
are not only economical but also emotional and spiritual
