The AIDS Epidemic in Kenya
- In 2003 the estimated number of adults and children living with HIV/AIDS was 1,200,000.
- The US Agency for International Development has estimated that 892,000 children under the age of 15 had lost their mother or both parents to AIDS by the end of 2001.
- The number of Kenyan orphans due to AIDS is projected to increase to 1.54 million by 2010.
- Aids was a major cause of a 25% increase in deaths among children under age 5 between 1987 and 1997.

We are praying that . . .
- The ministry efforts JGM are involved with (outreach in their community, AIDS awareness, orphan care) is effective in their area.
- People will be excited to sponsor individual children.
- We would find creative ways of empowering the JGM members in small business efforts.
- God leads the relationship between advocates in the United States (that could be you!) and JGM members for shared encouragement and carrying each other's burdens.
