Children in the Hope Community Center
Kenya
Hope Community Center
Hope Community Center is a home for
children who have been orphaned or abandoned
and were formerly living in the streets. There is
a stigma associated with children who have
lived on the streets. So acceptance in school
becomes more difficult for them. The common
belief is that children who lived on the streets
“may have acquired bad habits.” Lucy Gacheru,
who began Hope Community Center, realized in
1994 that she was called to address the needs of
these children. As she says, "I had a dream to
help other needy children like me and show
them that God cares and has a plan for them.” Global Family funds help to feed 173 children
currently living at Hope Community Center.
