The Sibanga Children’s Home
In October, eight members of the UUs of Columbus, Indiana, went to visit and support the children’s home. They helped with some infrastructure issues, brought some arts activities and games to play with the children, and learned more about the needs of each child, as well as the children’s home. Pastor Patrick Kimwachi and his wife, Phoebe, are the owners and caretakers of the children and the property on which it is situated, outside of Kitale, Kenya.
They are people with full hearts and intention in taking in children who have no one else to care for them, and who are often left on the streets to survive. The Sibanga Children’s Home provides these children, ages 7-19, a safe place to form family, go to school and grow into healthy adults who will contribute to Kenya’s future. We want to help the Kimwachis feel safe and secure in their efforts to keep all the children in school and improve/maintain the buildings and farm under their watchful eyes. They have no help from the government or any other groups, at the moment, so we are pushing every day to seek your support to help us help them.
