NIPE TUMAINI

When God called Benson Mungai and his wife Eunice to begin preparing a home for orphaned and vulnerable children, Benson didn’t start by looking for kids in need. First, he planted a garden.

That garden has grown into a farm that spreads out for acres in front of Nipe Tumaini Children’s Home (NT) in Kenya’s Rift Valley. Benson’s vision was not only to create a safe home where children would receive love and holistic care. He wanted Nipe Tumaini to be a sustainable children’s home. “We believe sustainability is the way to go, for any project or organization to succeed,” he explains. 

At Nipe Tumaini, the children live in a family-style setting where meals, work, and space are all shared communally. In addition to their studies, the children each have home responsibilities. They assist with cleaning and cooking, wash clothes and shoes, and help on the farm. Many of the children have come from backgrounds of abandonment and abuse, so a stable and loving home environment is a critical part of restoring hope so they can heal.

Children in the Sponsorship Program are cared for holistically, meaning that spiritual, physical, educational, and community factors are all considered in providing care for each child. The kids attend Nipe Tumaini Academy on site for primary school, and then a local school for the next levels of their education. Lahash engages in ongoing training and development efforts with the program staff to creatively and compassionately improve the children’s lives.
