HIV/AIDS |
|
The Devastating Impact of
HIV/AIDS is a
major contributor to the plight of children in Kenya.
The number of orphans is expected to rise to more than 2
million by 2010, with HIV/AIDS contributing up to 60% of
the total number of orphans. These children have limited
access to psychosocial and economic support, making them
the most vulnerable of Kenyan society.
In Kenya, it is rare to find anyone whose life has not
been touched by HIV/AIDS in some way. It is a matter of
whether one is “infected” or “affected” by this disease.

Only 58% of children under 15 live with
both parents; 11% do not live with
either of their parents (and are
considered as “fostered”).
There are 7.2 million children in
primary school. Of these, 1.2 million
children (17%) of currently enrolled
children are orphans; drop out rates in
primary school are 5.4%.
Nationally 1.3 million children (ages 5
to 17) were engaged in child labor in
1998/99; most in commercial and
subsistence agriculture, fishing and
domestic services. The majority of
working children are between the ages of
10 and 14, with the highest proportions
found in the Coast, Eastern and Rift
Valley Provinces (19-19.8%). |
