Kaborogin Kids Lead the Way

Join Aussie kids Ben and Naomi, as they discover more about the lives of kids in Kaborogin, a rural Kenyan village.

You'll meet Maureen and Francis, just two of the Kaborogin kids who have been taking an active role in bringing about positive changes for the whole community.

As a result of the Child-to-Child program at their school, they have learnt to be problem solvers and health educators.

These Kenyan kids are spreading life-saving health messages through plays and songs, as well as making practical changes that improve hygiene and sanitation, and reduce the spread of malaria and other diseases.

Aussie kids are encouraged to join in and be a part of changes that make a real difference to children in poor communities around the world.

What They Say About Kids 4 Kids

"Kids 4 Kids was a watershed experience for my Sunday School kids. The video opened up an experience of life so different from theirs, and they really engaged with the day-to-day realities of the poor. The kids were empowered to be active, and rather than feeling guilty ... they were motivated to see how their resources can help others."

Jude Waldron, Syndal Baptist, Vic.
