Shelter Children Rehabilitation Centre:

Shelter is a children's home located just outside of the Ngong Hills 40km from Nairobi.  The orphanage is home to 190 boys and girls from the ages of 2-23 years old.

Over 75% of the children are orphaned from HIV/AIDS, leaving the children destitute were it not for the existence of Shelter.

The orphanage provides the children with a home, food, clothing and an education.  Privately run, Shelter receives minimal government funding and survives on the support of a few international donors and sponsors.  The orphanage works to empower the children and help them recognize the reality of a future through education.  The only means by which the children can over come their devastating past is through the dreams and hope of a future.  To learn more about Shelter visit: www.shelterchildrenkenya.org.
