In July of last year, TI experienced a major loss. One of our HIV orphaned girls, Veronica, passed away. It came as a shock and exposed the need for a special place for orphans with AIDS to be cared for, a place where they can get the unique care that they need. TI and Hope 2 Kenya set a dream in motion to build a small home for these children.

This week, after five months of searching for the perfect spot, I am excited to announce that TI bought one acre of land for this project. It already has a three bedroom house with electricity and running water. After only a few renovations, the project will begin.

We plan to construct an outdoor kitchen and a few other small buildings this year.

The land is large enough for us, in the near future, to move the Neema project here as well. We would like to build a house big enough for 15 teenage girls and a block of classrooms where the girls will be learning to read, write, tailoring and hairdressing.

Please check for updates on the Veronica Home and Neema Project to see how you can get involved.
