Community Based Care

Community Based Care (CBC) program

Keeping Families Together: Hope Starts At Home.

While our Children’s Home provides a safe sanctuary for double-orphaned children, we recognize that the best place for a child is often within their own family or with loving relatives. Access Hope’s Community Based Care (CBC) program is our commitment to strengthening families in the Kitale community, ensuring that poverty is not separating a child from a thriving future.

This program is a crucial part of our mission, aligning with the Kenyan government’s goal to support vulnerable children and their caregivers in the community where possible. By providing targeted, essential support, we empower relatives to care for children who would otherwise face destitution.

The Crisis: Poverty, Not Abandonment

In the Kitale area, hundreds of children are classified as orphaned or vulnerable. Many of these children are cared for by extended family members or struggling single parents, such as widows, who simply cannot afford the basic necessities to keep them in school and healthy. These families live in heartbreaking conditions, forced to choose between a meal and a textbook and often having no access to either.

Our Solution: Targeted Sponsorship

The CBC program breaks this cycle by providing key essentials directly to the child and their guardian through a focused sponsorship network. This powerful intervention ensures the child stays in a familiar, loving family unit while receiving the resources needed to thrive.

What Your Monthly Sponsorship Provides:

For only $40 per month, you deliver a lifeline that keeps a family whole and changes a child’s future:

Full Educational Support: This includes vital school fees, uniforms, and textbooks, ensuring uninterrupted learning.
Nutritional Support: Assistance with food to ensure the child receives consistent, healthy meals.
Essential Medical Care: Access to necessary health and medical assistance, preventing small illnesses from becoming life-threatening crises.
Family Preservation: You are directly supporting the family unit and helping to keep them together, which is the most powerful foundation for a child’s emotional and social development.

A Face of Hope: Angel’s Story

The impact of the CBC program is best seen in the lives it transforms, like Angel’s. Angel is a vulnerable child being raised by her single mother, Lucy. Due to a disability, Lucy struggles to find consistent work as a housemaid.

By joining our CBC program, sponsors ensured that Angel receives her school fees, and the family is assisted with food. This support means Angel can pursue her education with dignity, and Lucy has the encouragement and practical help she needs to face daily hardships. Your partnership truly makes a mother cry tears of gratitude.
