Each child at AIM house is an orphan. Being older when they were orphaned, they each remember life before he or she became an orphan. They remember their moms and dads. They remember being part of a loving family. Each child brings sadness and heavy hearts because of prior experiences and memories. They each have already lived more life, has been exposed to more trials and hardships and carries more heartache than anyone should ever have to. However, they now have hope and a reason to smile.
AIM House exists to bring Christ's healing to these hurting hearts, to enfold them in love, provide family, and give them another chance at life. The children at AIM House are now free to dream, free to have hope and free to have a childhood. They are joyful, fun loving, playful and full of life!

AIM House is entirely funded by private donors, churches, and businesses. We rely on people like you to continue our ministry among the orphans of Kibera. Without your financial support these children would end up back on the streets or worse. Would you consider sponsorship? Click on the photo for more information about each child.
By choosing to sponsor a child you are enabling him or her to have a warm bed to sleep in, food to eat everyday and an opportunity to attend school. AIM House provides a safe, loving environment for these children who would otherwise have to fend for themselves. They along with Eva, the house mother, and Cucu, the grandmother, have become one family, now having other people to rejoice with in times of happiness and lean on in times of need.
