The Limuru Children's Centre (LCC) is situated amongst the tea fields of the Kenyan highlands, on the outskirts of Nairobi.  LCC has three main programs; long-term care, day care and feeding program, and academic scholarships.

LCC currently has 35 boarders that are under their care full-time, aged 4 – 15 years old. These children are either orphaned, or come from an unstable family environment.  For those children that have relatives, LCC works hard to reunite them with family members, if they are in a position to take care of them. In addition to long-term care, LCC also provides daycare for over 100 children, in two locations. The children are all under 6 years of age and have been identified by a social worker as needing additional support. All of the children receive two meals each day and attend a preschool program.

The Scholarship Program provides financial support to over 50 secondary school children so that they are able to receive formal schooling. Children are expected to perform up to standards in order to receive this scholarship throughout their secondary school years.

Special information

  • This is a custom departure, meaning this trip is offered on dates that you arrange privately with the provider. Additionally, you need to form your own private group for this trip. The itinerary and price here is just a sample. Contact the provider for detailed pricing, minimum group size, and scheduling information. For most providers, the larger the group you are traveling with, the lower the per-person cost will be.

Itinerary

Why is this project needed?
Children and youth who receive support through the Limuru Children’s Centre have been affected by poverty, HIV/AIDS, abuse and neglect. This centre, supported through our partnership with Happy Africa Foundation,  provides many of these children with the basic necessities of life, as well as creating a caring environment to help them reach their full potential.

How you can help?
Donations made to this project will support the development of the scholarship program, and help provide children in this community with an opportunity to receive support and an education.
