We are Ritare Christian Orphanage, a small NGO and the only one working with street children in the western part of Kenya.
It all started several years ago, when Douglas came to Kisii town and confronted with the horrible situation faced by the street children in this area, decided to stay and take care of them. Since then all our effort has been directed to providing these children with shelter, food, education and much needed attention. Today many street children live under our supervision and  other underprivileged children from the village benefit from the schooling that we provide, for we also created the only free public school in this region. Besides training our children in sustainable agriculture, we have also started an agricultural project in collaboration with Kamanu, which gives training in planting and seed saving to local mothers.
So far only supported by family, friends and volunteers our organisation has managed to endure and even thrive in this very complicated border area. Due to unforeseeable circumstances we now fear that our project might be coming to an end. For this reason we are launching a desperate message, we need your help!
