🏢 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. Our goal is to provide the children with a permanent and loving home, good education and to prepare them for a self-dependent life and now is accommodating 32 but has a capacity of 45 children comfortably. 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 a save, loving and caring home for all children in need. They provide a regular meal and the children attend education in the nearby school. The aim is for the children to have hope in their future life and progressed to be dependent adults of value, regardless their background for the benefit of the society and community at large.
