Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Group Homes, Human Services
Mission: Our mission is to continue to expand our orphanage in Gachoka, Kenya, for children who have lost their parents to AIDS. We desire to bring comfort to more suffering children so they may heal, and to nurture them with love and compassion. Our hope is that through our example, they will learn a love and a tolerance for the new family they will find at An Orphan’s Dream orphanage. We help our children develop self-esteem and eventually self-realization by teaching them skills that will develop their talents, both practical and creative. In general, we hope that when they leave us, they will be healthy, loving human beings, who are willing to sacrifice for the good of others.
Results: With our initial fundraising efforts, we were able to purchase land, build the first cottage, and take in over a dozen orphans. This past year, our fundraising efforts were even more successful, and we were able to build a second cottage. We are now proud to be home to 27 orphans!! All of them are thriving greatly in this new family environment, and we love them all dearly.
Target demographics: children orphaned by the AIDS crisis
