SHARING WEB RESOURCES

One of the websites I have been visiting is the International Child Resource Institute concentrating on Kenyan schooling. There is the Kid Safe Project which is a new child abuse prevention program which builds awareness of the subject concentrating on detection, intervention and prevention. Participants are also trained in child advocacy and child abuse prevention policies. Over 45 child advocates have been trained. I tried to research the statistics on child abuse in Kenya and I couldn't see a definitive amount of children that were abused in Kenya. Information was not readily available. There are lots of statistics on the United States but I found nothing on Kenya's statistics on child abuse. Makes me wonder why it is not readily available to the public. Thriive is another program ran in Kenya by the Arthur B. Schultz Foundation that loans money to small business owners. The loan holders in turn payback their loans by contributing to community based organizations serving low income children and families. It's enabling one hand to wash another in a sense. Inadvertently, it is also the rich giving money to the poor. Thus allowing the families to better themselves and lift their families out of poverty. The whole community benefits from this process.
