Who We Are!!
Incorporated in 1997,  Lucy Gacheru (founder), who says that “having come from a broken family, God’s grace in my life provided all of my basic needs, I had a dream to help other needy children like me and show them that God cares and has a plan for them.” Her vision of the orphanage is built on 

Jeremiah 29: 11: “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for wholeness and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”.

·         HOPE COMMUNITY CENTRE receives children who have been permanently separated from their parents due to a combination of death, abandonment, and serious abuse.
 

·         HOPE COMMUNITY CENTRE strives to meet each child's specific physical, psychological, educational, emotional, and spiritual needs.
 

·         HOPE COMMUNITY CENTRE maximizes the impact it has on the life of each child by focusing on the quality of care it provides rather than the number of children it serves.
 

·         HOPE COMMUNITY CENTRE develops each child through community fellowship and integration with local churches.

History & Affiliation

 HOPE COMMUNITY CENTRE welcomes and encourages the involvement of other Christian churches and organizations in developing support for the project, and in the sending of short-term teams and other personnel. In fact, the volunteers and teams who minister to our children come from many different (countries,regions, Christian denominations), as do the staff who work in our orphanage.

Our passion is to love the most desperate and vulnerable children in the communities where we serve and to permanently change the direction of their lives. The needs of children at risk around the world are staggering, and those needs cannot be met unless many different individuals, churches and organizations work together, each committing themselves to that part of the task which they have been called to accomplish. Accordingly, it is our desire is to work cooperatively with every other person, church or organization who shares in our heart and our vision for helping these children.

 We are grateful to all people who contribute towards the running of the orphanage.We now runs a Elementary school (nursery through grade 8) for its own children as well as for several needy ones from the village nearby. currently we have over 250 children.These children compete with those in public schools for sports and music but because of their background of living in the streets and the state of the public schools, sometimes it is difficult for them to intergrate. Several children are in public/private secondary schools and colleges.
