ILI's newest ministry, Partners for Care, announces plans for Kathi's House, a home for orphans infected with HIV / AIDS near Naivasha, Kenya.

Kathi Gruber lost a courageous and grace-filled battle with cancer in June 2007. Kathi's passion for children never wavered. Kathi planned how she might coordinate raising funds for orphans with AIDS in Africa even during her own battle.

There are presently six children infected with AIDS who are living with a pastor in the area where the orphanage will be built, until Kathi's House can be completed.  This home will be the first site in a larger project called "Beat the Drum."  The little girl pictured at the right is one of the six children awaiting the orphanage's completion.

The "Beat the Drum" project, named for the movie created to promote awareness of the epidemic of AIDS in Africa, is planned to include 10 homes for children, homes for 2 pastors, a community kitchen and care center, as well as facilities to garden and raise chickens to improve self sufficiency.
