In the villages of western Kenya, AIDS has robbed hundreds of thousands of children of their parents.

Tumaini Letu-Our Hope is a film about the lives, struggles, and indomitable spirit of three women left to care for these orphans. Rasoa Kivairu is raising ten grandchildren. Anna Khautu is a single mother of five who lost her husband to AIDS. And Anna Aredo has taken in four nephews. With limited resources but great resolve they must overcome many challenges to ensure these orphans grow up healthy and have a chance at a better future.

These women participate in the AED Speak for the Child project, a comprehensive program to help educate and heal a generation of orphans and vulnerable children who, as adults, will be needed to secure the future of their own nation.

Speak for the Child is supported with funding from the Children's Investment Fund Foundation, the U.S. Agency for International Development, the Elton John AIDS Foundation and donations from individuals.
