USHINDI CHILDREN'S HOMES - KENYA

Ushindi Children's Homes 

When a child’s parents die, he is faced with serious challenges:

His access to the most basic needs – such as shelter, clothing and food – becomes extremely limited. Often extended family is elderly, abusive, or too poor to care for another member, and so his needs – and the needs of his siblings – become his own responsibility.  Most often, this will drive a child into begging, robbery and/or prostitution. With all his effort going toward basic needs, extra costs such as education and health care are out of the question. Any plan or hope for the future soon fades as he turns all focus to the daily task of survival.

Ushindi Homes offer such children new hope! We do this by focusing on three key areas: a child’s health, education and spiritual formation.
HEALTH 
Our children are provided with a balanced diet of 3 meals a day – all of which is fresh food, often grown right on the Ushindi grounds. Every child has his or her own bed and blankets, and a secured area to keep their personal treasures. Each child receives routine medical care as well as specific attention to any health issues he or she may have. We work diligently to ensure each home is a safe, clean, loving environment in which these children can grow and flourish.

EDUCATION 

All Ushindi children are enrolled in school from the time they enter our home, until they graduate from high school. They are actively involved in extracurricular activities such as choir and athletics. Most attend our own Christian school, Victory Academy, where our students have been recognized as the most disciplined and the top performing in our district of 23 schools.  Armed with a good education, children will not only live better lives, but will also shape the destiny of their country.
