Kenya has a population of about 46 million and is located in East Africa. The capital and largest city, Nairobi, is home to Kibera, one of the world's largest slums. Many of the 42 tribes in Kenya have been in conflict for ages primarily due to inadequate resources such as water.
Support Literacy in Kenya: In Kenya, the U. S. Agency for International Development (USAID) estimates that more than six percent of the population is infected with HIV, 1.6 million people infected with HIV/AIDS, and 1.1 million orphans infected due to AIDS.
Sima Community Based Peace Initiative Organization, based in in the Sima region of Kenya, aims to strengthen networks to prevent conflicts and promote peace. It is sponsoring literacy schools for over 150 girls and boys.
