Summer 2002. The first trip to Kenya for ADP co-founder Jason Gilde. At age 17 Jason journeyed to Kibera Slum with Kenyan friend Mr. Fred Outa.

Fred showed Jason his work in Kenya; the founding and management of schools for under-served children in Kenya. One school, called the AIDS Orphans' Centre Kenya (AOCK) at the time, was located in Kenya's worst slum, Kibera.

AOCK served nearly 75 Kibera kids at the time. It was only a small building with a dirt yard. Kenyan teachers volunteered to give the children a primary education (K-8).

Jason was floored.
How could a place like Kibera exist in our modern world? How could so many people be suffering? How can there be so many orphans?

Who is going to care for all of them?

Experts estimate there may be 50,000 orphans in Kibera Slum. Today, AOCK has changed its name to the Spurgeons Academy, but its purpose has not changed. The school currently cares for over 400 Kibera children, mostly orphans. The pupils receive one meal each day, a solid education, clothes, basic health services, a nurturing love.

The kids need this refuge. They need us to help.
