This website is dedicated to the Pepo La Tumaini centre in northern Kenya which Turner helps support via UNICEF with the efforts of its staff and by using charitable funds from parent company, Time Warner.

Pepo La Tumaini Jangwani, Swahili for Wind of Hope in the Desert, is a community-based organisation in Isiolo, Kenya, providing basic schooling for children infected with or affected by AIDS. It serves as a transitional centre for abandoned orphaned children and provides counselling and nutritional support for over 1000 families in the district. It also includes a medical centre.

The Wind of Hope community seeks to improve the standards for people living with HIV and AIDS while aiming to reduce the growing number of people in Isiolo contracting the disease and passing it on. Trying to minimise discrimination is another big part of their work.

Turner helps support Pepo with the efforts of its staff as well as with airtime and financial donations. Turner used charitable funds from Time Warner to pay for a Toyota Landcruiser pick-up truck, two years' supply of UNIMIX Food supplement for Pepo community households with vulnerable children, soap, recreation kits, drugs kits and capacity building for the Children’s Department to set up and manage a Cash Transfer Programme in Isiolo. The money will provide funds to supply US$13 per month for 100 households in Isiolo with the most vulnerable children for two years.

Please take a moment to read this site and bear in mind how little it takes to help a lot.
