Program highlight:
Supporting Jubilee Children's Center in Kenya:
we continue to expand and enrich our wonderful school and living facility near Nairobi, Kenya, which houses over 150 kids. The smiling kids you see on these pages were rescued from the slums, and now look forward to a bright, healthy future. Our goals at Jubilee are: 
- To support 800 - 1000 children at our Jubilee Children's Center, in both primary and secondary schools
- To continue raising money for projects through Child Of Destiny and our partnerships with likeminded supporters
- Get abandoned and parentless children out of the slums of Nairobi and rural Kenya, and into Jubilee Children's Center
- Provide a safe, Christian environment in which the rescued children can grow and thrive
- Provide the children with housing, staff, schools, medical attention, church, food, and clothing
- Ensure that each AIDS-orphaned child's future is secured
Improving Living Conditions:
We promote improved living conditions for those suffering from a lack of basic needs: food, housing, and most especially, water. We also assist those who suffer with disease and chemical dependency which has become prevalent among those who are incarcerated or otherwise marginalized.
Support Kenyan Women Through WIPE (Women in Pursuit of Empowerment)
We pioneer low-cost micro-loan strategies to create a new future for women in the Kenyan slums. What is critical to human progress is vision -- seeing a future that can be achieved and is worth achieving. We call forth disadvantaged Kenyan women to a sustainable future in which they have the opportunity to live healthy and productive lives.
The goals of WIPE are: 
- To buy a building in the Korogocho slum where we will train the women in tie-dye, beading, sewing, healthy cooking, crochets, etc.
- To build a food center for orphaned children
- Administer medicine to the HIV/AIDS victims in the neighborhood
- Create a center for educating the slum dwellers on prevention of HIV/AIDS Provide school and day-care for children who are already infected with HIV

ACCOMMODATION
Volunteers will be housed on-site and be more a part of the campus experience. The shell of this three-story building is almost completed, and will be much more convenient than the hotels our volunteers currently use, which are over two hours away. With more hours at the campus, volunteers can accomplish much more on their visits to JCC!
