🏢 About the local organisation
Tunza children's home is located approximately 30 km from Nairobi city, southwest of Ngong town. This home has 118 children, 60 in primary, 38 in secondary and 20 in pre-school. Since its inception in the year1998 under the founder DiminaKhasiala (famously known as Mama Tunza), the home has developed from the slums of Kibera where abandoned and orphaned children used to be nursed and cared for to the now present structure located 20 minutes drive from Ngong town. The home will therefore give volunteers an opportunity to have personal contact with the children whohave been neglected. For those who have a passion for young children in Kenya, this is a good opportunity for you to come and assist us in making the lives of these kids better through your volunteer spirit.
