ABOUT the Twiga Children's Home
Twiga Children's Home (formerly Mercy Gate
Champion Children's Home) part of the KCIS Child Support Centre
and is a non-profit organization (seeking NGO status) based
in Kisii, Kenya, that is run by a team of volunteers. The centre
has been established to give support and aid to children with
problems, with shelter, food, clothes, education and conselling.
We
are financed purely by donations and the amount of work we can
do is proportional to the amount of money we receive - but we
never turn a needy child away.
The centre was founded by Abigail and Vincent. They inherited
a plot of land and rather than do what most Kenyans do - build
their home on it - they decided to dedicate it to the orphans
of Kisii.
So, they founded the home. They have the children, but as yet,
no home.
But this is just the beginning of the story.
Now, we need two dormitories, a dining/cooking block, washing
block and a leisure/study block.
We also intend to have a vegetable plot so that the children
can grow their own food. We already have banana and avocado
trees and a small pineapple plot.
Here are some of our children, Davis, Edwin, Dennis, Aloys and
Vanessa.
The boys have been helping to chop wood for
cooking.
