Kenya Orphans Rural Development Programme (KORDP) works with impoverished communities in Kenya that have been especially badly affected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic. KORDP builds the capacity of communities to care for orphans and vulnerable children, and spreads awareness of HIV/AIDS to tackle both the prevalence of the disease and the stigma associated with it.

On this website you can find out about the background of KORDP and our board of trustees, read about the way we work with communities, and see some photographs of the communities and people with whom we work. If you are interested in helping or donating, please contact us.

In November 2005, KORDP was awarded the Oscar van Leer Award, given every two years by the Bernard van Leer Foundation “for excellence in enabling parents and communities to help young children realise their full potential”.

You can get a copy of the booklet (pdf 2.1 MB) produced by the Bernard van Leer Foundation to mark the award.
