simple, multipliable orphan care:

As our staff do child assessments within the community, they are determining whether a caregiver (usually an extended family member) is willing and able to care for a child, and if so, how ReACT can help facilitate that where they are. If a child has urgent physical needs due to HIV, a child may be admitted to the Veronica Home for 1-3 years to stabilize their health and our staff can develop a long term care plan.

1. Home-based Care (HBC). Kenyan supporting Kenyans by reaching children who are orphaned in their local communities. Often the only hurdle to a child being cared for with extended family is the associated costs. In such as case, ReACT will support a family to care for a child within the community.

2. Veronica Home. Some children living with HIV have such urgent needs that they need to be cared for in a home that caters to their unique needs. The Veronica Home is a place where they can recover physically while growing spiritually. While this happens, the ReACT staff are working to find a longer term solution for caring for this child after they stabilize their health.

ReACT's role is unique in that our vision is to see local Kenyans leading and managing the work in country.  While we have a high value for accountability and ensuring finances are used responsibly, we do believe that Kenyans are in the best position to care for their own.  As a part of our vision to be cost-effective, ReACT is managed in North America by Canadian and American volunteers.

rescue

Rescue may seem to some a pretentious word but it speaks about the desperate life circumstances that the children we work with come from. We are looking to work with children with urgent needs.

Restore

Our hope in providing a safe place that meets the needs of children with urgent needs is that they find a place to be healed and restored to the Shalom that the Creator initially intended for them. Like so many things in life, small investments over long periods of time produce the greatest change.

Release

Ultimately our vision is to see children be rescued from desperate life circumstances, find restoration and ultimately be released into the world as equipped adults who can in turn bring lasting change to their communities. “A little yeast works its way through the whole lump if dough…”
