Watu wa Maana

A child’s future changes

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 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 have 43 boys and girls residing in the center. 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.

Our Causes

Our Story

We are happy to report that the success rate of children who come into the orphanage grow up to assimilate into life well. Many have graduated even becoming police officers and going on to do hairdressing and other vocational trades. Some even go on to university. 

Support from sponsors makes this possible.

In the spring of 2017, WatuWaMaana installed shipping containers along the front of the property to subdivide and rent the space to merchants to generate income for the home.  To date, the kiosk program has proven successful and space is in high demand.  We are hopeful that this initiative will help WatuWaMaana become financially self-sufficient.    We are ready to expand this we find willing financial donors to provide additional kiosks.
