Kajiado Children’s Home
Kajiado Children’s Home (KCH) has been home to multi-generations of vulnerable children since 1997. KCH works closely with Kenya Child Services to identify childen who are the most desperate in need, with those admitted having no family, access to parental oversight, nor have their basic needs for protection met. KCH provides physical and spiritual nourishment in a safe environment, supplemented by care by a loving staff, medical care and educational needs through secondary school. The children come from different African tribes and grow up as sisters and brothers. Currently, there are over 100 children being cared for at KCH. Alumni of KCH remain active as mentors, volunteers, and some even serve as local board of management or board of trustee members along with respected community leaders.
Kajiado Children’s Home provides loving Christian care, shelter, food, clothing, medical and educational needs to children who have no other resources. HFK support of KCH has evolved for over a decade, through campus improvements and increased programing. Capital projects have included facility improvements, property and farm enhancements, and a new state-of-the-art primary school to provide quality education. Programing improvements are reflected through improved on-campus medical care through added staffing, the Community Outreach Program (education needs for orphans living with a guardian), COVID-19, Drought and Flood community relief projects, and the Bright Horizons Project focused on helping post-secondary students navigate their next steps to self-sufficiency.
KCH is also a designated Kajiado Rescue Center for Kenya Child Services, who places vulnerable children on a temporary basis. These children can stay as little as a few days to many months depending on the needs of the child, with KCH absorbing the cost and care of these children.
The Child Sponsorship Program at KCH enables you to have a direct impact on a child. One “sponsorship” partially covers the actual cost for each child, but your child knows you as their “American Mum or Dad”. They value the personal relationship developed over their childhood, and look forward to writing to you, and receiving your letters. If sponsorship is not right for you, become a “recurring donor” to help meet the many needs in these young lives. Are you able to join with us in helping these children achieve their goals?
