Hanne Howard Fund began with a story full of compassion and heart
During a six-month sabbatical in 2005-06, Hanne Howard and her husband, Ted Horton, were introduced to the Lenana Slum through a chance encounter with a grandmother whose daughter and baby grand daughter lay dying of AIDS.
Our Areas of Focus
Education empowers and transforms young vulnerable lives
Healthy balanced meals combat the effects of child malnutrition

Recreation and training programs develop skills and boost confidence
An Unexpected Family: Stories from a slum
In 2009, director Riyad Barmania and producers Diego Pascoalino and Christian Marion Lohr came to HHFL in Kenya to film a documentary about our work and the HHFL children. This documentary has since debuted at many film festivals and has most recently been accepted into the Online New York Festival. Grab a coffee, sit back and enjoy (it’s 45 minutes long)!
This website was made possible through the volunteer efforts of Alexandra Howard and Laura Burgin.
