IAHV(AOL), Kenya and Children's Garden Home

Whilst affiliated to the global AOL Foundation, any AOL project that is undertaken in Nairobi or other parts of Kenya is initiated, planned, executed and managed by the local organisation independently of its parent organisation. AOL, Kenya is a non-profit organisation and all members volunteer their time.

AOL, Kenya’s activities can be divided into two primary areas. First, recognising the high levels of stress that exists among the hundreds of thousands of people crowded together in different slums in Kenya, also in the highly crowded prisons, AOL runs courses in enhancing life-values, focussed one role of meditation and yoga in helping people to come to terms with and better handle their anxieties and fears. Through these courses they are able to overcome addictions to drugs, alcohol and other harmful substances. Breathing and meditation techniques help them to overcome their sense of worthlessness and to become more wholesome and empowered human beings.

Second, AOL promotes and runs sustainable projects to help improve socio-economic conditions in slum communities. For example, a few years ago it had set up an internet cafe in Huruma which has now become self-supporting.

AOL Kenya is installing a community cooker at the Children’s Garden Home (CGH) in the Kawangware slum to make a substantial contribution to addressing the waste disposal problem as well as initiate income-generating activities while addressing the sanitation needs of the residents. This is a joint project between AOL and Children’s Garden home. Also AOL has been supporting CGH in other activities and trying to see how best it can be self-sustainable and also empowering the children with skills in handling stress and entrepreneurship for self-reliance through the social enterprise projects under www.LittleFingys.com.
