Events Thika Prisons In keeping with its mission to reach out to the desperate and voiceless, AGHPF in collaboration with Netcare will visit children at the Thika Women’s Prison. During the visit, led by the Foundation President, Prof. Kilian Songwe and members of his staff there will be a donation of gifts to the children as well as food and toiletries for their mothers. Unfortunately, these children ages one month to four years follow their mothers to jail and are incaserated for no crime or fault of theirs. These children sometimes number up to thirty in very small living quarters. During this holiday season make a donation to help feed these children.
