Changing Lives


One of our HIV+ boys, who is now being supported by one of our generous donors through our Child Sponsorship programme, has recently had his life completely changed for the better.

Last month CamKids trustees agreed to build this little boy's family a small house for just US$2,500 because their home was dangerously run down. We did it with the support of the local community who all wanted it for them (we always have to be wary of causing jealousy and friction within small communities when singling one family out).

Many thanks to the directors of Kais Village who organised the project and took the before and after photographs for us. The boy's father, who is a builder, designed the new home and says it is perfect; everything he ever wanted. He was completely moved by the gesture and said he never imagined in his wildest dreams that he would be able to build his children a safe house.

If you would like to help support one of our medical projects, please contact us at medical@camkids.org or send an email to sponsorship@camkids.org to find out more about our Child Sponsorship programmes.
