Children’s Homes Projects: Kenya
Children and their families in Kenya face poverty coupled with problematic inflation, drought, famine, and political instability. With much of Kenya shut down due to the Coronavirus, the need is much greater. Many homes have no food or water. Many must go outside to find water in a stream. Food supplies have slowed due to Covid-19.
Here are the some of the projects and homes that are in dire need of financial support to keep running:
Happy Life Children’s Home was founded by the Rev. Peter and Faith Ndungu. “It has been awesome to see the hand of God at work in the lives of little abandoned children in Kenya! We are truly humbled and also amazed that at 17 years the Happy Life Mission is now a Three-fold ministry”:
1. Providing the abandoned children with a Home and a Hope for Adoption
2. Providing the children with a Quality Christian Education and a trade to prepare them for future employment
3. Providing the children with Quality Medical Care
New Life Children’s Centre assists in curbing the highest rate of infant abandonment. It is a safe center with three priorities:
1. Rescue abandoned and vulnerable babies (0-6 months old)
2. Care for these children in New Life Homes
3. Place these children in loving family situations
i5 Children’s Center, Kenya, the i5 Church in Anne Arundel County, Maryland provides a home for orphaned children to receive care as well as education and opportunity to have a successful future.
From their website: Right outside of Nairobi, Kenya we at i5 Church care for 13 children through our children’s center. We literally bring the 5 to them each and every day.
These children have the opportunity through the support of our church to receive care, food, clothing and opportunity to get a good education and even go on to University. Kenya is our first home that we hope to use as a model long term to have children’s center on every continent in the world. Our vision for global missions at i5 Serve is to house and care for orphans through the vehicle of the 5.
The current facility no longer meets the needs of the children we care for. With the children getting older and need more space and the desire to be able to house more children, we are currently working on acquiring a larger home to accommodate the future vision of the children's center as well as the current children.
The Mary and Moses Center in Elburgon, Kenya is home to more than 40 girls. The girls live nine in a room in a space that is 12’x12’. The home’s size is 1500 square feet and each room has a set of three bunk beds. Each young girl is excited to have their own space – a private place that they call their own – a bed.
