Caroline

Date of Birth:
01/20/12

Place of Birth:
Meru, Kenya

School Attended:
Mitunguu Primary

Child’s History:
Caroline was born to a single mother and is the third of five children. Unlike most of our children, Caroline was not born with HIV. Her mother, after contracting HIV from a boyfriend, passed the disease to Caroline while breastfeeding. A home visit by New Hope staff revealed that Caroline’s mother was quite ill and unable to care for the children. Caroline was also not receiving daily anti-retroviral medications necessary to treat HIV. She was accepted at New Hope – AINA Children’s Home in early March 2021. Caroline would like to be a teacher one day so that she may help her siblings. Sponsorship grants her the opportunity to be whatever she wants to be!

Wilson – SPONSORED!

Date of Birth:
12/28/2017

Place of Birth:
Meru, Kenya

School Attended:
New Hope – AINA’s Paolo Academy will be his first!

Child’s History:
Wilson has been SPONSORED! At just three years old, Wilson was accepted into New Hope – AINA Children’s Home in late March 2021. A single mother of three, Wilson’s mother has not been able to take care of her children. Although she took day-labor work in the village, washing clothes and selling candy, the family relied on neighbors and relatives to provide most meals. Unfortunately Wilson was not receiving the ARTs (anti-retroviral therapies) necessary to slow HIV and so, after a visit with our social worker, came to live with our family at New Hope – AINA.

Contributing to Wilson’s sponsorship means contributing to his health and his chance at a normal life.
