Profile

Ruth is the oldest girl at our Centre and also the newest. She loves to laugh with her friends and is settling into her new home well. She says the best part about living at Flying Kites is “going to school” and she enjoys wearing her uniform everyday. Ruth is eager to learn new skills and will work at something until she perfects it. She loves taking photos of other students and volunteers.


While Flying Kites respects our children's right to privacy, we feel it important to convey to their supporters the various desperate situations from which they have come. In a cross-small section of the children living at the Flying Kites Leadership Academy, you will find that all of the children in our care were born into absolute poverty. The children who are accepted into our Home have no other options for care with extended family members, or they have been removed from their parent's custody. We cater to children who have been orphaned, abused, abandoned, and raped. Some of the children in our care were forced into marriage as the age of eight, others suffer from HIV, epilepsy, paralysis.
