MISSION: Our mission and purpose is to relieve poverty by providing basic amenities, including food, clothing, shelter, education, and basic medicines and medical aid to orphaned children, children with mental disabilities, homeless people, and people living with HIV/AIDS in Kenya and Canada. To gift funds to qualified donees as defined in subsection 149.1(1) of the Income Tax Act (Canada)”. This Charity is managed by a strong team of directors who are volunteers and are never paid salaries or benefits. These directors ensure that all donations that we receive directly go to accomplish our purpose. (NOTE: All directors, volunteers and staff are NOT paid any salaries or benefits whatsoever (other than the 2 nannies who take care of the orphanage children in Kenya). Our overhead expenses are always less than 2% of gross revenue. This implies that 98% of all donations received go to help the needy persons, both in Canada and in Kenya). “We Try To Make Positive Social Change To The People In Need”

Total annual Budget is CAD$25,000.
b) New Dormitory to accommodate 40 girls at our Dr Njenga Orphanage in Kenya has been delayed due to funding and the need to educate current 23 kids using available funding as a priority. Plans awaiting local Council approval in Kenya. Budget is $50,000. We received a donation of $9869.82 from Rotary Club of New Westminster of British Columbia to start this project, but it was delayed due to the prioritized activity of educating the kids using the available resources.

We kindly ask you to help us. The fundraising target is $25,000 that is just enough to educate and maintain these 23 orphans next year (2020). Also note that we did not fund-raise last year (2018) because one donor helped us significantly. . We thank that donor and all those donors and supporters who has made this Charity a success story.

 2012:. We built this Orphanage in Kenya that we support and manage at Kamuchege Village, Kiambu District in Kenya. Inevitably, some orphans do not have relatives to take of them. They must be removed from streets -Give them an opportunity for future self sustaining. Orphanage accommodates 20 kids

|
 2012: Our Directors Jennifer Kube and Dr Peter Njenga went to Kenya at their expense to open this Orphanage on November 1 2012 . Financial problems and security obstacles were tricky and remain a story to tell. Jennifer refused to be deterred by security threat. But strong will and commitment made this dream come true to many.
