We thank you for visiting our Donation & Sponsorship page and for your willingness to help Gathiga Children's Hope Home.

GCHH provides shelter, food, clothing and education for over 90 children without any financial support from the Kenyan government. The organisation currently depends solely on donations and volunteers assistance:

• There is a desperate need for food and education. Regular feeding of the children is a major problem and not all children can go to school as we do not have enough money for school fees, uniforms, shoes and supplies, even though the children want to go.
• Cost of medical care is also high. The children have gone through traumatic and physical abuse requiring specialised care.
• There are many more children looking for admission into the orphanage, but due to lack of necessary finances we are not able to admit them.
• We need to provide good, fair, and safe conditions to our workers who make a lot of sacrifices to give GCHH children a better home away from the streets. They work for very little or no salary, are overworked, underequipped and understaffed.

Wish list:

• Our temporary dwelling has reached its maximum capacity as home to over 90 children and staff members! We hope to purchase land in a more secure area and build the children a more suitable facility with play area and large enough to accommodate them properly.
• We hope to open a polytechnic school that will provide training in tailoring, carpentry, welding and computer courses for older children, who wish to move on from GCHH to look for employment.

Donations of any amount are always welcome. One-time donations or regular recurring donations can be arranged. If you donate to GCHH you are free to either specify which need or program you would like your contribution to be used towards, or to leave it to the GCHH staff to choose the most urgent need. Either way you will be informed specifically how your donation was used in a personal thank-you-email.

You can also support the home by sponsoring a child. The monthly cost to sponsor a child is $50. This covers the child's priority needs of food, personal needs and education. You can sponsor a child for as long as you'd like. Any period of time is appreciated.
