PEACEFUL HOME FOR CHILDREN

Angels of Hope Foundation has been assisting the Kianyaga Children's Home, which belongs to the local Town Council. During this year, this orphanage was filled to capacity with children. There was a need for a new orphanage.

Angels of Hope has decided to build this new orphanage, called Peaceful Home for Children. It remains in the same area of Kianyaga, close to Mt Kenya. This is a private institution which will be run and funded under the umbrella of Angels of Hope. As the situation became critical with more children being orphaned, the new home was set up in July 2007. In this new home, we currently have 11 children. The present buildings are temporary structures, as the construction of the first building will begin in January 2008.

The Director of Peaceful Home is Joe Njogo and the Manager and Matron in charge is Joe’s wife Agnes. Both these “parents” have looked after orphans for the past 20 years, with much love and dedication.

The plans for the orphanage will be a family structure. Each house will have 8 children, a mixture of both boys and girls of different ages, with a mother. This will give them a sense of being in a family. Each house will cost in the region of US$ 16,000.00. This will include all the plumbing, electrification and furnishings.

Culturally, Kenyans do not adopt orphans. Therefore, children who come to an orphanage in Kenya usually stay until they become adults, as this is the only home they will know.
