Mum’s Love Children Home

Mum’s Love Children’s Home is a community-based organization project that was initiated by Alice Mwende Kanini. It is a place where they care give children who are abandoned, orphans, less fortunate, vulnerable, and HIV positive children by giving them a second chance of living to become tomorrow’s perfect leaders in society, by providing Shelter, Education, Food, Clothing, Health Care, Love, and Mentorship.
Mum’s Love Children’s Home project has a Feeding Program whereby they serve Street families Breakfast and Lunch 6 days a week from Monday to Saturday. And every Wednesday of the week they have counselling and bible study session to them as motivational events. They also provide raw food to the elderly aged and disabled persons twice a month if the foodstuff is available. They also do hair shaving and monitor them.
Mum’s Love Children’s Home consists of 45 children and 3 female employees. With the introduction of kindergarten teaching now, the project has about 100 children in total with additional teachers. The common language used in the project is Kiswahili and English. Since the project started, vulnerable children are able to go to school and the street family, the disabled, and the elderly gets food. Water comes twice a week at the project or it can be fetched from a nearby water point.
