Since May, the Home has admitted a total of 13 children in total; 4 babies – all of whom were abandoned and taken to the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH), 3 from Eldoret Street Rehabilitation Program and the remaining 6 from the internally displaced families as a result of the 2007 post-election violence.

The (6) six children were abandoned by their mother at the Eldoret Show ground-IDP camp.

The father, a shoe-shiner and the sole breadwinner, could not afford to meet all the family’s needs, as he too was living at the camp. As a result, the father would spend most of his time trying to look for ways to feed his children, which meant leaving the children alone for long periods of time.

The eldest girl (age 12) would take care of her 5 siblings in the harsh environment of the IDP camp.

All our children in school are doing their best in school. We managed to attend academic meetings, personal school visits and reviewed all progress report forms of all our children for the second term.

Many thanks to the Golder Trust for Orphans recent donation, which was used to purchase the supplies necessary to refurbish our children’s dormitory.
