Mission Statement:
The Home strives to rescue children who have been displaced,
abandoned or orphaned as a result of HIV/Aids or abuse. The Home aims to transform the lives of these unfortunate children and to help them be productive, independent, and responsible citizens of tomorrow. We seek to empower children to take their proper places in this nation. To become a model of hope for children's existence among other human beings by providing them with a living atmosphere, spiritual education, formal and informal education, entrepreneurial skills with the expectation of making them socially and economically stable and independent. The children will become the primary messengers and advocates who will reach out into the community to awaken and educate other children and teens about HIV AIDS, abstinence, drug abuse, crime and other issues that are ravaging the Kenyan communities.
