'Nyumbani' means 'Home'

Nyumbani Children's Home

The Nyumbani Children's Home was founded in 1992 to aid orphans created by the AIDS pandemic in Africa. The home was created in response to the dire need for specialized facilities for abandoned children in Nairobi, Kenya. Today over 100 orphans live at Nyumbani Home located in Karen, Nairobi.

Based on the success of the children's home, the Lea Toto program was created. Lea Toto is a community based outreach program providing services to HIV+ children and their families throughout Nairobi. A related effort called Nyumbani Village was spawned to support both orphans and elders impacted by the AIDS pandemic. Located on 1000 acres donated by the Kitui District County Council, Nyumbani Village is conceived to support between 1280-1600 individuals via a self sustaining agricultural based venture.

There are a variety of ways you can volunteer, and visits can also be arranged.
