Kenya is on the East coast of Central Africa, Kenya is home to some of the earliest known human remains. The British Empire made Kenya colony in 1920 and it was only in 1963 that the country gained independence. Agriculture is the Kenya economic activity, with most families relying on the success of their crops for survival. The extended family is integral to traditional culture, poverty is widespread in Kenya, especially in rural areas with over 70% of the population estimated to be living in poverty. Kenya also had high percentage of his population living with HIV/AIDS, over 3 million people are said to be living with the disease, which means many children will be orphaned, yet over 1,500,000 are orphans in Kenya. Other Killer Diseases Besides HIV/AIDS there are other killer diseases, 10% of children die before age of five and many of these deaths are caused by preventable or treatable diseases such as Malaria a disease spread by mosquito.
