Farming & Residential Care
Currently we accommodate over 55 children mostly between the ages of 4 and 12 at a site in Pasua. We provide our residents with matron supervision, regular nutritious meals, and clothing, school needs that include uniforms, books, materials and fees. Currently we are cultivating 40 acres of land in a joint venture with the Majengo Preschool where we grow maize, rice, bananas, beans, tomatoes, potatoes and carrots. Our farm is of major importance to us for feeding the children at both facilities.
Educational Programming
We are firmly committed to education and have recently completed a classroom and hired a managing teacher for the orphanage to fulfill this goal. Our younger children are either instructed on the grounds six days a week or attend a preschool in Majengo. Our older children attend local private and public schools where we are active in overseeing the education they receive and in assisting them with individual studies. Many of our children score in the top of their class on final exams.
Medical & Health care
We currently have the direct medical supervision of a retired physician from the United States. We do regular medical clinics at the orphanage and utilize the services of local clinics and hospitals when more intensive procedures like x‐rays or blood work are needed. All of our children receive intake evaluations including blood work testing for problems such as HIV. We are established with a local dentist and our children receive this service as needed. We have just completed a new septic system and practice hand washing and basic hygiene.
