GlobalEyes
the goings-on of a fully transparent not-for-profit
GlobalEyes Partners and Projects
We currently collaborate with Tropical Focus for Rural Development, a Kenyan non-governmental organization founded in 2000 by eight local community members. These founders recognized the desperate need to loosen the grip that poverty and HIV/AIDS has on their communities in the Winam Division of the Kisumu district of Western Kenya, including the villages of Kajwang, Karombo, Kogony, Kanyakwar and Konya.
Tropical Focus endeavors to alleviate poverty and uplift the living standards of targeted rural poor through the implementation of income generating projects that assist in socio-economic stabilization, the development of basic rural infrastructures such as domestic water supply systems, and support for the community’s most vulnerable children, including education and provision of shelter and food.
Tropical Focus operates a feeding program out of Obede Primary School and fully supports an orphanage, Children Rescue Mission, Kenya, in addition to deploying outreach programs for HIV/AIDS intervention and education in communities located int he Kisumu district of rural Kenya.
Dago Thim Primary School
Dago Thim Primary School is located on 1.8 hectares in the Nyahera division of the Kisumu District, Nyanza Province, Kenya. Established in 1964 by the African Inland Church, Dago Thim was later handed over for public running and now operates as a public mixed day primary school. This year, Dago Thim has 601 pupils in standard one through eight graded levels, and 12 teachers. Dago Thim is currently supported by the community (buildings, desks and books) and some government assistance (mainly teachers).
Main needs for Dago Thim are: new latrine facilities, improved nutrition of pupils through an outreach feeding program, new uniforms, an expanded administration block and the leveling of the play field.
Obede Primary School
Obede was established in 1968 as a government public school under the Kenyan Ministry of Education. The school offers primary education to a current enrollment of 345 pupils from standard one to eight, according to prescribed curriculum.
Obede Primary School’s motto and mission, as determined by teachers, students and parents in 1998 is: “Toil for Success”
GlobalEyes initiated an outreach feeding program at Obede Primary School in 2006. This program provides school lunches for all students and extra feeding and supplies for students with additional need.
Children Rescue Mission, Kenya
Orphans commonly drop out of school, are susceptible to impaired social development and mental disorder, prone to participating in criminal activity and forced into street living. Children Rescue Mission, Kenya is a children’s home that focuses on serving the holistic needs of children in education and social wellbeing.
Children Rescue Mission, Kenya developed in 2005 from informal gifts of food rations and clothing to destitute children wherever they stayed. Now a full service orphanage and feeding center, Children Rescue Mission, Kenya works to provide shelter, food and educational opportunity to vulnerable children, orphaned by HIV/AIDS, in the villages of Kajwang, Karombo, Kogony and Kanyakwar.
Two major projects we are developing with Tropical Focus are economic and entrepreneurial interventions for widows of HIV/AIDS. These projects help to support the orphanage and outreach feeding program.
