Empowering Lives Through Compassionate Support
Our Mission Matters
Mission:
Our mission and purpose is to relieve poverty by providing basic amenities, including food, clothing, shelter, education, and basic medicines and medical aid to orphaned children, children with mental disabilities, homeless people. To gift funds to qualified donees as defined in subsection 149.1(1) of the Income Tax Act (Canada)”.
At Charity, we dedicate ourselves to uplifting orphans in Kenya and providing assistance to homeless individuals in Canada, fostering hope and creating a brighter future for those in need.
Management:
This Charity is managed by a strong team of directors who are volunteers and are never paid salaries or benefits. These directors ensure that all donations that we receive directly go to accomplish our purpose.
(NOTE: All directors, volunteers are NOT paid any salaries or benefits whatsoever (other than the 2 nannies who take care of the orphanage children in Kenya). Our overhead expenses are always less than 2% of gross revenue. This implies that 98% of all donations received go to help the needy persons, both in Canada and in Kenya). “We Try To Make Positive Social Change To The People In Need”

Other boys and girls are in trades such as mechanics, welders and beauticians . 6 boys are now at various High Schools in Kenya, and 2 girls at various high schools in Kenya . All others are in primary schools. Maintaining the orphanage requires an annual budget of CAD$12,000; and the school fees annual budget is CAD$13,000. Total annual Budget is CAD$25,000.

2012: Our Directors Jennifer Kube and Dr Peter Njenga went to Kenya at their expense to open this Orphanage on November 1 2012 . Financial problems and security obstacles were tricky and remain a story to tell. Jennifer refused to be deterred by security threat. But strong will and commitment made this dream come true to many.
2012:. We built this Orphanage in Kenya that we support and manage at Kamuchege Village, Kiambu District in Kenya. Inevitably, some orphans do not have relatives to take of them. They must be removed from streets -Give them an opportunity for future self sustaining. Orphanage accommodates 20 kids
2012: Kids received a package of personal health and school necessities prepared and donated by Jennifer’s Mother -Mary Kube of Canada. .

2012: Empowering kids involved introducing education and insisting that every child must attend school . Focus was to educate these kids for their future sustainability. Kids are seen here tackling a challenge of drawing or writing anything about their new place and what they want to be in future. Today in 2024, most of them have realized their dreams and some are now self sustaining.
2017: These 22 kids after school are saying THANK YOU to all sponsors and donors and volunteers.
2012: Empowering kids started with feeding them and providing shelter.
2016: Kids were taken to Nairobi City in an effort to expose them to the world. We always visit them at our own personal expense to see how they are doing.
