Background
“Watu,” meaning “very important people” in Swahili, is the overarching theme by which this residential children’s home operates. The staff believes it is a privilege to serve at WatuWaMaana because each child has been intentionally placed there by God for a specific purpose. They are focused on shaping the child to become a person of great character with Christlike values. Their efforts can be easily seen as the children boldly share their testimonies and fill the church with heartfelt songs of praise.
We currently we have 43 boys and girls residing in the centre. We also have 22 children in secondary schools who live with their relatives or good Samaritans in their communities. In total we are giving care to 65 children this year. God saw us through the year in good health and good school performances from the children. We are still growing strong spiritually.
