Kenya
Children's Home
Welcome to the Kenya Children's Home!
Located on the slopes of Mount Kenya, World Reach’s Children’s Home houses children who are orphaned, rejected, neglected or ignored by Kenyan society. Many of the children end up on the street if no one intervenes. Children’s Home kids are often rescued from the risk of being abused by an adult or from inducing harm to themselves by sniffing glue as a way to get their minds off daily difficulties they face.
World Reach learns of needy children through a variety of sources, including contact from the Kenyan government and/or contact from a grandmother or other relative seeking help due to lack of resources. Sometimes children are simply dropped off with a note at the gate of the campus.
Kenyan “Housemothers” raise the children in a loving Christian environment that provides shelter, food, clothing, schooling and medical attention. In addition to formal education, the children learn to cook, sew and wash clothes, and maintain the Children’s Home grounds.
There is no free public education in Kenya. There are educational costs for tuition, testing, lunch programs, school uniforms, etc. Children live in the Children’s Home during their “Standard” school years (equivalent to U.S. grades 1-8) and attend nearby schools with educational costs covered by World Reach’s Children Home.
Upon completion of “Standard” school, students are placed in “Form” school (equivalent to U.S. high school). In Kenya, “Form” school is boarding school. At this stage, the Children’s Home covers the students’ boarding and educational costs.
Our Goals
To Protect
We provide a safe haven for vulnerable children, rescuing them from the dangers of the streets, abuse, and neglect, offering them a secure and nurturing environment.
To Teach
Alongside formal education, we equip our children with life skills as well as teach them Biblical truths to lead their life.
To Provide
We meet the physical needs of our children by providing shelter, nutritious meals, and clothing, ensuring their healthy growth and development.
To Love
We create a loving, Christian home where each child feels valued, cherished, and supported, fostering emotional healing and a sense of belonging.

“Imagine having grown as an orphan, with no love, no protection, no care, no one to take you for an outing, but all of a sudden you get protection and care. This has been the story of these beautiful boys and girls. For years, some of them have found love, care, and protection in the World Reach Children’s Home.” ~ Patrick Mutwiri
