We rescue abandoned, orphaned, children, rebuild their lives, and support them to become happy, self-sufficient, adults. We provide a home where they are loved and develop a sense of family. We have purchased 8 acres of land on which to build a permanent home but need money to build the home itself.

Beneficiaries
Over a third of rural Kenyans live below the poverty line; youth unemployment is high, and 15% of girls aged 15-19 have already give birth. There are many street children in the Maua area, commonly orphans. They experience violence and abuse (one of our girls watched her father slit her mother's throat), are malnourished and often sniff solvents to dull the. pain. Life expectancy is low. They have no opportunity to attend primary school, let alone receive secondary or tertiary education.
We provide a secure, loving family environment, with intensive support to heal the trauma of abuse. Our youngest child is in nursery and can expect to stay in our care until she graduates. We also pay for vocational training that provide employability. We have purchased eight acres of land and now need to raise sufficient money to build a larger, permanent, children's home, enabling us to rescue more young children from destitution and abuse.
