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

HOME SWEET HOME

things shall be added to you."Matthew 6:33-34.























The building is finally done and some of the kids are moved in. they are enjoying their new home.



We are blessed to have a shaded dining area for the kids. they are very happy to have shade over their heads because of the high temperature of the sun. We thank everyone who blessed these kids with this gift.
a more permanent kitchen and dinning room are under construction.









Bedding:
The beds and mattresses that we have been praying for and we were in need of, God has provided though your support. We thank you. The kids will have a good and safe place to sleep.






















Mosquito nets:
Malaria is one of the major health problems in Kenya. It is costly to be treated and because many people can not afford the medication they in many cases die. It kills many people every year (mostly children). The good news is that it can be prevented. Sleeping under insecticide-treated nets can help reduce the infection rate. We struggle to keep the children as healthy as possible, because we want them to be healthy and happy. The good news is we have the nets and are being used by the kids.
