    About Us

    The main activity of Kisumu Children Trust is a Children’s Home in Kisumu, Kenya which has existed since 1995. It began when a few desperate children were taken in by a Kenyan pastor and his wife and given a little help by a contact in the UK. It has now grown to become a 72-bedded Home that is also becoming a hub for greater community involvement.

    Located in Tieng’re, a village on the outskirts of the city, the Home provides a safe, simple place for orphaned and neglected children, ensuring clean water, a good diet, clothes and medical care, all within a loving, Christian family environment. All the children receive primary education, going on to secondary education, apprenticeships, vocational training, college or university as they have the ability.

    Kisumu Children Trust is a registered charity in both the UK and in Kenya.
