About the local hosting organization

Nanyuki Furaha foundation is a charitable children home that was started in 2014 by an Italian volunteer to Kenya in collaboration with the local community. The project was started to address the growing problems experienced by street children and it is a registered Non-Governmental Organization in Kenya. The project provides accommodation, food, clothing and education to about 50 children of between the age 2 years and 14 years. In addition, the institution also supports other 14 children at their homes after they were reintegrated to their families and the community. In the project, the children comprise of orphans, under privileged and street children. The problem of orphans / street children is acute due to urbanization, commerce and foreigners in the town whome they beg from. Due HIV/AIDS deaths, re-marriage of deserted / widowed / divorced women, absence of love and security in the families and family disputes, the children are left without care and support. These children are therefore involved in drug abuse, participate in anti-social behaviours and criminal activities. The project strives to mainstreame such children in the national building by providing care, support and protection.
