The Nyamarambe Children’s home opened in 2004 in partnership with a local church whose leadership saw the needs of poor and vulnerable children in the area. Even in remote villages, HIV/AIDS has taken its toll, leaving the orphaned or abandoned struggling to survive. Upon opening, the home for both boys and girls quickly filled as two dozen children and loving, Christian house parents became a family.

Nyamarambe is still the smallest of our homes in Kenya, but we now care for 30 children between the ages of 3 and 18 in two separate houses. Because many of them were rescued from traumatic cult abuse, we believe it is important to keep the home sizes as small as possible.

Sadly, it is often a struggle to integrate these kids back into their communities, since they are considered outcasts after their abusive pasts. But with hard work and encouragement, we have seen families and relationships restored in many cases, and we will continue those efforts. Above all, these children need to learn about the love and healing that comes only from knowing and serving Jesus.
