whhf Supporters from around the world make regular contributions by purchasing Viakula Vouchers for $68 and have the opportunity to assist further by introducing other Supporters who do the same. Viakula Voucher contributions are used for a wide variety of humanitarian projects for poverty relief.

Working with his new bicycle and cleaner from whhf, Nicholas Otienoia is now able to provide for 14 family members.

Under the careful management of our African Coordinator - Peter Hewitt , the whhf currently supports 4 orphanages in Kenya; these are at Kokoto, Cheponde, Gilgil and Lanet. The orphanage support includes financial assistance to help with general running expenses. We also help with special needs, including but not limited to; school and accommodation buildings, bedding and sanitary requirements, etc. We were able to provide the very first orphanage we supported with over $100,000.

Other humanitarian projects include agricultural training for villages and micro loans for small business development to encourage self sufficiency, re-establishing water supplies, distributing staple food supplies, providing meals and education for street kids who are not currently in an orphanage setting and assisting, counselling and relocating displaced people. Our Social Development Coordinator continues to explore other projects so that as funding increases we can support these as well.
Before humanitarian aid is commenced in a new area, Peter and his Team undertake routine investigations to ensure that a genuine need exists. Although in many cases it does not take very long to establish this, simply by observation during a visit to the area or village in question.

Scenes like the ones shown here are all too common.
