Project: Campus development
Number of Children: 430

Description: Heroes of the Nation provides a home for children at risk. These children may be orphaned or either unable to live at home or be supported by their parents. These Children's Homes are in the form of orphanages, single-family housing, or hospitality centers. The children are provided with housing, education, and health-care. Education and training is culturally relevant and is centered on developing leaders for their societies. Our basic children's objective is to provide them with the fundamental necessities for a fulfilling life. We provide them with a family structure that includes parental care and education. We train them to become both productive members of society, and leaders in society as well. To accomplish this, we first get children off the streets and into homes where they feel they belong. The love, education, and community we provide is more readily accepted and integrated into their world-view.

Description: The Bethlehem Community Centre (BBC) was established in 1990. It is situated in the Soweto slum of Nairobi – home to over 160,000 people of whom 95% have an annual income far below the UN poverty level of $400.00 US. Soweto has no water, electricity, or sanitation.

The situation at Soweto is deplorable – sewage runs openly down the street, housing consists of shacks created out of rubbish; garbage is everywhere, children in rags run barefoot through the neighborhood, unemployed men loiter in groups, trudging back and forth into the city in their fruitless attempts to find work. BCC is a shining light, a haven in the filth and darkness.

The main focus of Bethlehem Centre is to provide care for destitute children, the majority of whom are orphans as a result of HIV/AIDS or conflict. The children’s home provides 100 orphans with care, medical attention, an education, and training.

Bethlehem Community Centre supplies primary schooling to 210 children, including both the resident children, and children from the surrounding community.
