The problems affecting the children were many. It was understood that the suffering the children faced was actually resulting from adult problems. Some of these problems were 1) Poverty and unemployment, 2) Parent abandonment, 3) Parent deaths from HIV & AIDS, 4) Idleness, 5) Drugs and substance abuse, 6) Illiteracy and 7) Commercial sex trade.
From Taveta’s Town Hall, TCA began feeding programs for the children every weekend and food ration distributions for the guardians to carry home.
