Read about our new fundraising initiative in the
Minneapolis/St. Paul Twin Cities area.

Mission Statement: Kids Home International is a non-profit humanitarian organization that seeks to improve the quality of lives of the homeless and orphaned kids through programs designed to develop their spirit, mind and body, so they can realize their full potential in the society.

Quick Facts
Kids Home International’s purpose is to reach out to the homeless, orphaned and exploited kids in Kenya with a loving and nurturing orphanage, and through select programs that target urban areas.

The sad statistics:

  • Human Rights Watch Group estimates that there are up to 600,000 street kids in Kenya most of them orphaned through AIDS
  • And an estimated 1 million children living with HIV
  • An estimated 700 children are orphaned everyday. Most of these kids withdraw from school because of lack of extended family support
  • Girls are the most disadvantaged due to cultural attitudes. They are then forced into prostitution in order to sustain themselves

Kids Home International hopes to play a role of providing a future one child at a time through the following programs:

* Human Services * Education * Health Services
* Spiritual Programs * Placement * Extra-Curricular Activities

Goal
Kids Home International will strive to establish a safe and secure place that enables children to receive tender care and loving support.

How Can You Work Alongside Us In This Effort?
You can do so in a variety of ways:

  • Volunteerism - KHI welcomes volunteers to help fulfill our mission here and abroad. 
  • Donations - We are not accepting toys, clothes, school bags, shoes, and stationery at this time due to limited storage space.
  • Gifts- We can help you with estate giving or property donations.
  • Health Services- KHI in partnership with Crosslink International, a Christian organization will procure medical equipment and medical supplies to meet our health services program. KHI needs your help in meeting storage & freight charges.
  • Child Sponsorship- Although our main goal is to establish a structured environment where the children can call home, we do welcome and encourage child sponsorship. We will provide you with a list of children, their photographs, history and immediate needs. Once you decide to sponsor a child, you will get yearly updates, including a letter from the child you are sponsoring. For only $25 a month, you can feed, clothe and provide school supplies for a child!
  • Financial- We welcome any financial contributions. Kids Home International is organized exclusively for charitable, religious, educational, and scientific purposes as specified in Section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or the corresponding section of any future federal tax code. Therefore, any contributions made are tax deductible as per IRS guidelines. KHI prides itself on spending such gifts wisely and effectively.

Capital Campaign

KHI is involved in a long-term campaign to build the children’s home. Phase 1 will feature a home with a kindergarten, Elementary and Primary Schools within the facility. Phase 2 will feature a technical school where vocational education will be offered.
