Anderson Rays of Hope Orphanage

First Draft

It is estimated that there are between 250,000 – 300,000 orphaned children in Kenya, with roughly 7% being under the age of five years old.
With no government-operated facilities and no foster-care program to care for these children, thousands live on the streets of nearly every city.
Machakos County (one of our bases of operation in Kenya) contains over 1,000 such children.
It is for this reason, that we broke ground in October 2022 on what will become the “Anderson Rays of Hope Orphanage” in Tala, Kenya.
This facility will house 200 boys and girls as old as 18 years old.

In addition to providing a loving home and medical care, Anderson Rays of Hope will also provide:

  • Classrooms for K-12 education
  • Recreation areas
  • Industrial kitchen and cafeteria
  • Vocational education for workforce training

Second Draft

In accordance to Giving Hands’ commitment to caring for our world as well as its population, the orphanage will also be environmentally green with biodigesters providing for its fuel needs.
Finally, whereas most orphanages in Kenya cannot care for infants and toddlers due to staffing limitations,
Anderson Rays of Hope will be able to accept children as young as a month old.
As of January 2023, the construction of Anderson Rays of Hope has received 58% of the required $165,000 needed to fund its construction and first year of operation.

With the Kenyan government already asking if we can accept children, our hope is to be caring for and educating our first 12 children by Summer 2023.
Would you consider donating to this project and proving a loving home for hundreds of children in Kenya?
