Welcome to Ember Kenya Grandparents Empowerment Project.
- Our project is based in the Samia District of western Kenya. Here there are many grandparents struggling to raise their grandchildren who have been abandoned by their parents due to poverty issues and the AIDS epidemic.

- Our mission is to support and empower those who have found themselves raising their grandchildren with little to no support. We first organize the grandparents into groups. This gives each grandparent a community of people in a like situation, which can offer much emotional support. Then we offer such things as housing grants, micro-loans, farming advice, and assistance with paying school and health care fees.
