🏢 About the local organisation
Nairobi Children's Home is a Government Institution under the Ministry of Gender, Children & Social Development. It is run by the Children's Department. The Home was established in 1989 as a rescue centre and place of safety. The home has a capacity of 60 children but the population fluctuates from time to time. The influx is largely attributed to the breakdown of social norms, high poverty rate and HIV/ AIDS scourge. It is the only Government Institution taking care of children in need of care and protection in their formative age that is 0-6 years. It stands on an Eight Acres piece of land.
Vision: A society where children become responsible citizens through fulfillment of their prescribed rights and welfare.
Mission: To safeguard the rights and welfare of all children in Kenya through implementation of relevant policies, coordination, supervision and delivery of services.
