🏢 About the local organisation
Upendo Children's Village is located in Ukunda, about 30 km south of Mombasa near the popular holiday area of Diani Beach. Their goal is to provide children with a permanent and loving home, good education and to prepare them for a self-dependent life. It is now accommodating 32 children, but has a capacity for 45 children. Upendo Children's Village is supporting the most unprivileged children (orphans, destitute and children in danger) as determined by the ministry of gender and social services.Upendo provides regular meals and the children receive education in the nearby school. The overriding aim is to reinstall hope about the children's future progress and help them to become independent adults, regardless of their background, for the benefit of the society and community at large.
