WIDES
(Will
of Destitute in Society) is a non –profit-making
community based organization formed to serve
the youth orphans in Nyakach constituency of
Nyanza province and Kibera slums in Nairobi
Kenya.. After deeply analyzing the problems
facing the youth orphans in these two areas,
WIDES realized that almost all of them stem
from poverty. It ascertained that poverty in
the area is a complex issue requiring a multidimensional
approach and there is no uniform solution to
its eradication. Because its reduction is pivotal
to sustainable development in the area, including
the improvement of the living standard of the
poor orphaned youth, WIDES directs its attention
and resources to poverty challenges in all the
villages in Nyakach constituency and Kibera
slums. It therefore initiated capacity building
and income generating programmes in these areas
so as to combat the problem of poverty and bring
hope again in the faces of the poor orphans.
