Kitui Village
Make A Mark, in partnership with a global coalition, established a self-sustaining, intergenerational village community near Kitui, Kenya, for children, orphans, and elders affected by the devastating AIDS pandemic. The Kitui Village serves as home for more than 400 residents. In addition to more than 40 homes, the village is comprised of a community center, clinic, 2 staff houses, a chaplain's house, water tanks and water treatment center, primary school, police post, and road infrastructures. Construction is currently in progress for a technical school and the primary school's administration center. A water system has been established, and crops have been planted and harvested for domestic consumption, along with a fruit orchard, and vegetable and medicinal garden. As a key role in achieving self-sustaining measures, an estimated 1,000 acres will be used for cash crops and dairy farming.

Nyumbani Orphanage
Each year, countless African newborns are left abandoned after birth, showing a “false positive” for carrying HIV. In response, Fr. Angelo D’Agostino, SJ, MD, founded the Nyumbani Orphanage to care for the growing number of abandoned children. In 1997, Make A Mark joined forces and helped develop staff quarters to house those individuals caring for the abandoned children. Currently, the Nyumbani Orphanage houses more than 80 children and 52 staff members.

Ntokozweni Village
The Ntokozweni Village is a self-sustaining community in Kwa Zulu Natal, South Africa, that simulates a family setting for many elderly and young children that are left without support due to the middle generation succumbing to AIDS. Make A Mark provided the funds needed for the residential building, a small barn for cows, and a chicken house.
