Safe Families & Child-Led Homes
Providing stability for children raising children.
We supply care packages, education support, mentorship, and psychological counseling — ensuring every child has a family, even if theirs was lost.
The Reality of Child-Led Homes
Across Kenya, thousands of children have lost their parents to illness, conflict, or poverty. In the absence of adult caregivers, older siblings—some as young as 12—are forced to become parents to their younger brothers and sisters.
These children face immense responsibilities: providing food, ensuring education, managing household needs, and navigating emotional trauma—all while being children themselves.

"After our parents died, I thought I had to drop out of school to care for my sisters. Badicare gave us food, paid our school fees, and now I have a mentor who helps me. I can be a brother again, not just a parent."
