Dream Children's Home
Dream Children's Home is at Ngong near Nairobi and was founded by Rachel Gichia and her husband Stephen. They have three children of their own and they started by taking two children, orphaned by AIDs, to live as part of their family. They did this at the request of their local church. They now have 38 orphaned children from 3 to 17 years.
They have to rely on sponsorship as there is no government financial support. Rachel and her husband are extremely enterprising as they use a small amount of land to produce some crops, raise chickens for meat and eggs and they have some cows. In addition, Stephen fabricates many of the beds/bunks and buildings. The children are being educated, but as often is the case in Kenya, they have to walk miles to school. It is fantastic that they will be supported by St Nicholas' Church this year.
The contact was made by John & Georgina Fellows daughter Catherine who now works for the BBC in Nairobi. The contact was made by her driver who lives near Ngong and is a member of the local church.
John & Georgina visited the orphanage on a recent holiday to Kenya and were so impressed by the achievements of Rachel that they were determined to support them.
