Check out this terrific 13-minute video highlighting United Kenya Rising's (UKR's) work to support families and keep them together.

Most of the students and families in the video are from our programs. The video also features interview clips from government and other charities' officials, as well as comments from UKR's leader Nelson Ida.

The video was produced by Mtoto News in support of the Kenyan government's efforts to promote Care Reform for orphans and vulnerable children. UKR is featured because it has become a role model organization across all of Kenya through its efforts to re-integrate children into families and assist entire families through its Family Care model.
