Child Destiny Foundation
The Kenyan Child Destiny Foundation was founded in 2013 with the purpose of improving the living conditions of single mothers and the lives of their children with disabilities in the Kibera slum.
Most of the founding members have a child with disabilities themselves and therefore know exactly what measures need to be taken to change the situation.

Private
Commitment
Our work is based on the private commitment of the team members. They invest a lot of heart, soul and hours of their free time to improve the situation for children with disabilities in Kenya.
Direct
Funding
All donations collected in Austria go directly to children with disabilities. The funds are used to finance the daycare and therapy center in the Kibera slum.
Help for
Self-Help
The organization aims to change the living conditions so that single mothers of children with disabilities can once again work and provide for themselves.
Waiver of Advertising Expenses
It is very important to us to keep our expenses in Austria as low as possible. Therefore, we avoid unnecessary printed articles e.g.: advertising and postal mailings, as well as promotional items.

Glorine
She never stopped dreaming. Glorine Awour's love for her son, her fighting nature, and her belief in a better future, were the base for the establishment of the Child Destiny Foundation.
It was her vision to build a centre for mentally and physically challenged children and to create an environment where all children feel comfortable, safe and get the kind of support they need.
In January 2018, Glorine sadly passed away far too soon after her cancer, leaving a big hole in our hearts. Through the work of Child Destiny Foundation, Glorine's vision lives on.
