Mission Statement: (See Web Site For Updated Information)
CROSNO is a registered Community Based Organization (CBO) with the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Development of the Government of Kenya, with the sole objective of supporting children orphaned by HIV/AIDS related deaths of their parents, through organized networks. The goal of CROSNO is to improve quality of life for orphans and vulnerable children through specific joint action. Communities play a vital role in responding to the needs of the most vulnerable children by establishing a “safety net” when illness and death undermine family resources and parental capacity to provide for their children’s basic welfare. Strengthening community based efforts is the only hope for building effective, sustainable support system for orphans and other vulnerable children in our community. |
