Kenya Children Centres

About us

Kenya Children Centres rescue orphans at our children's home and provide food and healthcare to the poorest children in slum villages. KCC started caring for orphans in 2000 with a small rented building and 4 orphan girls and this slowly expanded to 12 girls. In 2008, they constructed a purpose-built children’s centre within a large walled compound on a one acre plot at Ngoingwa, which is near Thika, about 30km northwest of Nairobi.
Today, the centre at Ngoingwa consists of a residential home with capacity for 80 orphan girls, a bakery, staff accommodation, a computer centre and a community hall. There is a resident team of social workers, carers and housemothers. They have goats, chickens, a vegetable garden and rainwater harvesting, which enables the team to teach the children husbandry and horticultural skills and provides a degree of self-sufficiency.
