LEARN MORE ABOUT US

We believe every child or youth has a right to ideal family care; safety, protection, nourishment and love. But that’s not true for those that are orphaned and vulnerable.

BABA NYUMBANI is a Micro-Village of comprehensive care for vulnerable children and youth facing adversity in Kenya.

Our mission is to equip vulnerable, orphaned children and youth with the education, life skills, and resources required for a lifetime of independency while our vision is to lead a global shift from institutional dependency to individual self-sustainability.

FROM CRISIS

approximately 3.6 million children in Kenya are classified as OVC (orphan and vulnerable children). This is nearly 19% of all children in the country.

6 out of every 10 children in rural communities experience "multidimensional poverty," meaning they lack access to at least two essential services, such as clean water, healthcare, or education.

1 in 5 children lack the basic parental protection or resources required to thrive.

CAPABILITY.
