HISTORY

A.M.C.C was initiated due to the hard stricken social-economic status of the community as a result of HIV/AIDS pandemic, poverty, illiteracy and unemployment. HIV/AIDS is a deadly pandemic occurring in every village in Kenya. It has caused over 3million children to be orphaned. About 800 Kenyans die daily from AIDS and Government statistics agree that out of the 30 Million Kenyans over three million are infected and others are affected either directly or indirectly.

Recurring drought within Kenya and the resulting famine is devastating to the most vulnerable including orphans, at-risk children, pregnant women and the elderly.

The responsibility of providing the rights of the children has become a tremendous burden to many guardians. Many Children whose parents die of HIV/AIDS and other causes like road accidents, other diseases etc lack the basic necessities and are deprived of their God given rights. Most people who die of HIV/AIDS are the working age who leaves their families impoverished. The traditional extended family care structures are over-burdened.

The Children’s management under their ailing, poor, illiterate and elderly grandparents or widowers or widows is poor, sometimes going for several days without a meal and without hope for the future. These factors lead to many children dropping out of school to seek for food, head their families, turn to child labor, commercial sex, drug trafficking, sniffing glue and street life, begging and pick-pocketing. Due to this and many other factors, Family Intercessors Network Interdenominational Soul Harvesters International Trust (FINISHIT), which is a registered non-profit making religious trust deed, initiated AH-GAH-PAY MERCY CHILDREN’S CENTRE ACADEMY project with a long term vision of providing education all through to the university or vocational levels to as many children as it can, by lobbying for donor support while at the same time providing other basic rights and building a school and a home for them.
