Give a future full
of choices
The journey begins with kindness and acceptance
Having been deprived of parents, home and security, these vulnerable children are grateful for a place they can call home. When all their choices were gone, they were given hope and their journey to wholeness began. Over time, they will recover from trauma and begin to thrive. With support from people like you, we can help them to heal, eat well, remain healthy, get the education, life skills, job-readiness training and confidence they need to create lasting change in their lives and communities. Together, we can support them into a whole new world of opportunities.

Food & Health
A healthy start for every child
- By helping Otacho Christian Childrens Home to provide good nutritious food and basic medical and hygiene products, Kenya Thriving is ensuring the children have lots of energy to play, learn and grow.
- We enable dried grains to be bought in bulk when they are least expensive, and funds for fresh goods are donated every month.
- The children are amazingly robust but after the rains, many suffer from malaria so a well stocked medical cabinet and mosquito nets are vital.
Education
Education is the route to a brighter future
Education is a valued gift and every Kenyan child is grateful to receive it. They gain, not just knowledge, but the confidence and critical thinking skills to take with them into their future. Grants provided by Kenya Thriving enable Otacho Christian Children’s Home to provide this opportunity for ALL fifty one children.
This valued gift comes at a cost. Although the Kenyan government make a contribution , the cost of uniforms, shoes, books, school levies, exam fees and boarding for the seniors is a sacrificial stretch for most families; but when you have fifty one children in your “family” that is a big bill every term.
Care & Protection
A little haven ….. big cuddles
All the children at Otacho Christian Children’s Home have experienced some form of loss, bereavement, fear, abuse or abandonment, leaving emotional and sometimes physical scars. From the beginning the home’s founders have made it a priority to ensure that each child knows he/she is loved and accepted unconditionally, which is producing confident and well adjusted young people.
Kenya Thriving provides grants to help with the costs of employing:
- A social worker
- Security (24 hrs)
- Houseparents
Changing Lives, Making a difference
Making amazing things happen
The Children’s Home is nestled on a hillside in rural south west Kenya; an integral part of the local community from which the children originate. It is important that they grow up as a part of the community and culture into which they were born. The houseparents and staff are also local.
As a result of resources made available by Kenya Thriving, Otacho Christian Children’s Home have been able to:
- Build five houses
- Build a kitchen
- Install water harvesting
- Build a football pitch
- Build a basketball court
- Install playground equipment.
- Install improved drainage.
- Install solar lighting
