Vines Kenya is a non- profit making organization registered in Kenya. The organization focuses on health, education and poverty alleviation sectors by engaging the affected communities with HIV/AIDS, cancer and non communicable diseases. Further we engage orphans and vulnerable children in terms of supporting their education transition and livelihood skills development. Further we engage widows , women and girls in poverty reduction through table banking,merry go round and  entreprenueral skills development. All our programmes are achieved through assistance offered by volunteers. Our sincere plea is seeking for financial support from relatives,friends, well-wishers and development partners so that Vines Kenya may send one volunteer to attend the World Sustainable Development Goals conference in Bonn Germany starting 1-3 April 2020.After attending the conference the volunteer will share information to the attendees about our palliative care programm in Kenya so that we may seek more funding from donors who support the implementation of SDG. In return Vines Kenya will increase its funding level hence increase its financial ability to reach many suffering poor women and children with palliative care services. The organization is passionate about women and children since they are less fortunate and suffer greately when they are sick and die poor life. A person suffering from example cancer is on pain management since so far cancer is not curable. Before they die they deserve a decent care in preparation for their last day. Vines Kenya is willing to increase its scope of operation since cancer and HIV/AIDS are the two main killer diseases in rural Kenya among non communicable diseases such as diabete and blood pressure.Bonn in Germany is actually the venue that the convenors have proposed for the World conference. The volunteer will interact with other players in the same field of operation for information sharing and gaining best practices in palliative care from the world.
