Project Foundation
The home is an initiative of Bishop Esther K. Mwiti, a reared nurse/ nutritionist and a born-again Christian. She founded the home after surviving a kidney operation as a way of serving God who healed her.
Location
The project is located in Timau, a small dusty and windy township, 215 kilometers north of Nairobi (Kenya’s Capital) on the leeward side of Mt. Kenya, 18 Kilometres north of the equator. Located on the leeward side of Mt. Kenya, Timau receives unreliable rainfall which has led to increased poverty levels among the inhabitants hence the vulnerability of the kids.
