Kenya's Abandoned Baby Center
Help for the helpless
Every 60 seconds, 23 children die from malnutrition, violence, and preventable diseases. In countries ravaged by war, extreme poverty, famine, and epidemics of disease, it truly is a fight just to stay alive.
The Abandoned Baby Center in Nairobi, Kenya, an off-shoot of Feed the Children charity, feeds and houses some of the many thousands of Kenyan babies orphaned each year—their parents lost to AIDS, widespread violence, and poverty. Many babies are barely alive when they arrive at the center and most come without a name or even a known birthday. Staffed with medical and child-development professionals, the innovative five-acre facility has its own medical center and numerous playrooms and care cottages to help babies recover, grow and thrive.
