More on Agape Children's Ministry - Remand

Another way that kids come into Agape's programs is from Remand, Kisumu's equivalent of Juvenile Hall.  These kids can be in Remand for a variety of reasons:  the kids might have been abandoned by their parents; the kids could have been involved in a violent crime of some sort.  Regardless of the reason for their incarceration, the kids are all housed together (from ages 3 to 18); so, you can imagine the potential dangers of this situation.  Recently, Agape has been bringing boys from Remand to the main campus, and the Reintegration Team has been working to reintegrate some of the girls in Remand with their families. This has been a really exciting development in the program, as the need at Remand is pretty desperate (as the photos below indicate).
