Brief History
In 1994, Lions Club of Menegai bought a 2 acre piece of land in Njoro, 15Km. from Nakuru and 1Km. from Egerton University at the cost of Ksh.315,000/-. North Sea Lions aided this project with Ksh.4.5 Million, and then District Governor, Ole Klejs Hansen also tremendously supported the project. Shah Vaghji Nangpar family contributed Ksh.1.5 Million towards the project. Anandy Marg Missionaries volunteered to manage this village. The missionaries have dedicated thieir life to serve the poorest of the poor by staying with the needy.
All these contributions have given us much encouragement and motivation to proceed with this project. As children are innocent victims of poverty, we feel it is our duty to assist them. We decided to establish the orphanage as a small village where the children can experience a sense of being in an extended family, rather than in an institutional setting. Hence it offers a peaceful and secure environment for nurturing approximately 72 girls from the age of two until they are self-dependent.
Thus We Have Built...
Three houses in a circle, each to accomodate 24 children, a study room, a caretaker's room with attached toilet, bathroom and an office. An Office block with two offices and accommodation for two administrative staff. A kitchen, stores, washing area and a big dining hall and/or activity room. We have built, the above with the approximate cost of Kshs.8 Million. In the year 1998 we sunk a borehole at the cost of Kshs.1.6 Million aided by the Lions Club International Foundation (LCIF). A section of the land is also used for growing vegetables for consumption in the village.
Currently 31 girls, 2 sisters from Anand Marg Mission, 1 gardener and 1 watchman are staying in the village. Out of the 24 girls: 4 are in nursery school, 16 are in primary school and 6 girls are in high school. We are in the process of taking 4 girls in the near future and many in two years time.
Day to day running of the village costs are substantial in terms of food, education, medical expenses and maintenance. Many donors have come forward to sponsor the girls and have donated beds, mattresses, furniture, curtains, blankets, utensils, etc.
However, we still need your support in cash and kind. It is our sincere and humble request to you to sponsor at least one child at the cost of Ksh.15,000/- per annum. Every little contribution you make will go a long way to make a difference in the lives of these girls.
You are most welcome to visit the village at all times. Regular reports will be available to the sponsors and the name of the donor will be recorded in the office. We trust that you will give the home your sympathetic consideration and donate online today.
"Things we do for ourselves die with us, things we do for others remain immortal." Please come forward to do something for these poor and unfortunate girls.
