About Chafisi orphanage

In the 80s, my family found many needy children but could not help because of lack of funds. The only thing we could do was to pray that God would provide food and clothing for them. When this burden became too heavy in our family, we decided to invite the children (orphans and destitute children) to come eat and share with us the small meal least once a month. In this way God began to bless our hearts. It was not until 1990, when two orphans started living with our family. This kind of ministry slowly grew and today we have at least 20 children. There has been an unbelievable increase in the number of orphans in our area because of HIV and AIDS. We are looking forward to welcoming more Orphans. Those that we are helping, go to school at Chafisi Baptist Academy, and also in our home. My mother takes care of them by cooking and cleaning their clothes.We have a building where the boys will reside and we are looking forward to building a girls' but for know the girls will be living at my home

Would you sponsor a child

Education is the key to success in life. We help these children get at least the basic education. Most children in developed countries do not appreciate the privilege that they have by attending school. In African countries, children have the desire to go to school but lack the funding and resources that make attending school possible. The main expenses are tuition, books, and school uniforms which are required prior to admission.



Mercyline Joseph Kazungu a girl age 6 years who lives with her grand mother. She is born in a family of 4. The grandmother sells food to cater for the family but because of her aged it is very difficult her to continue providing for the family. If any one feels with us the pain that this girl is going though we will be more than happy to provide will the information to help her.






Mama's food ministry:
This special ministry is part of chafisi orphanage. It is been incharge of feeding, clothing, and health of the children. Mama Naomi has been able to feed these orphans with three meals a day but because of the struggling economy she is forced to give one meal a day through help from different people. She is determined to feed these kids with a budget of about $100 a month. This ministry is having alot of difficulties and it has been even impossible to feed these kids. Mama naomi has given all her time and energy to take care of these kids. She is know keeping chicken, and other birds which will be used in the orphanage as food. We hope and pray that more people will give to the mama's food ministry.
