African Kids In Need was formed in the spring of 2007. This is the story of why it was organized :

In April 2007, when the Kenyan government’s Office of Home Affairs acted (through the Provincial Children’s Officer) to close the St. Francis Integrated School it resulted in the immediate re-homing of more than 240 children who were housed there.

Where we are today...

After less than 2 years since A.KI.N. was organized to begin helping Kenyan children to go to school, we have acomplished a lot. We have achieved non-profit status in the United States, raised money to send 25 children to secondary and vocational schools, and rented a small office and hired a minimal staff to oversee our work in Kenya. In addition, we have received NGO status in Kenya and have accepted 22 new students into our program in 2008.
