About

Special Needs Children in Kenya are just starting to be recognized as human beings now, but if you had a child that was born with a disability you were exiled from your family if you didn’t give your child up and put them in a children’s home. This is their culture and we cannot ever try to change it, that needs to come from within the country itself.

​

These kids are not orphans but are highly neglected and malnourished because of their cultural identity of them as cursed and the sins of previous lives. We are trying to make a difference by educating the local communities and their parents about their situation is because of diseases that can be cured not because of any spiritual or religious causes. Our volunteers are making a lot of difference in their lives by providing attention, care, and love in these centers.
