Making a Real Difference
From our flagship Elwak orphanage to humanitarian aid across the region, see how we are transforming lives.
Elwak Girls' Orphanage & Children's Home
We have taken over a disused boys' orphanage in Elwak, Mandera South, and are renovating it into a fully functional girls' orphanage and children's home. The facility currently consists of three dormitories, a kitchen, four toilets and a spacious compound.
Our plan is to refurbish the buildings, construct a girls' mosque within the compound and fully furnish the dormitories to accommodate about 100 girls per dormitory. The center will include classrooms and a dining hall, integrated with women and youth empowerment projects for long-term sustainability.
