"Sometimes the challenges that African children face seem overwhelming, but it's through small gestures like sponsoring individual children that we begin to make a difference."

Kenya Orphanage Project (KOP) knows that it doesn't take much to change a child's life. With compassion and humanitarian efforts combined, so much can be done. Already, over 130 children's lives have been transformed. They no longer fear what tomorrow will bring, but rather rejoice when tomorrow arrives because they know they are safe at Jubilee Children's Center. These children no longer feel the hunger in their stomach, the cold on their skin or the dread of what will happen to them on the streets. Instead, they focus their energy on learning in school, playing with friends and dreaming about what they want to be when they grow up - as children should.

KOP is dedicated to the orphans who arrive at Jubilee Children's Center. Our efforts are to ensure that they have a chance to survive in this world despite the neglect, harsh conditions they have faced, and the statistic that a child who has lost his or her parents is four times more likely to die than a child who has at least one parent alive.

We not only try to heal the wounds from the past and care for them now, but we are committed to the success of their future. KOP has high aspirations for the children. They are the future of their country and our world. These children are the answers to help their country prosper and contribute discoveries and talents to the world. All they need is a chance. After all, every child deserves an equal opportunity to succeed.

Jubilee Children's Center provides the children with a warm and comfortable home, clothes to wear, three meals a day, caretakers who love them, and most importantly a solid Christian education. All the children at Jubilee Children's Center receive primary and secondary education. Once they have graduated from high school, they will go on to start their vocational training or college education. Education is crucial to the children in becoming self-sufficient and ending the cycle of poverty that affects majority of Kenya.
 

Kenya Orphanage Project (KOP) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to support the ongoing operation and development of Jubilee Children's Center (located in Ruai District of Nairobi, Kenya) and provide continuous education for those children whose parents have died of AIDS. We are guided by the following Vision and Mission Statements:

Vision Statement  -  KOP is committed to support a safe, happy, healthy and productive life for the children of Jubilee Children’s Center in Nairobi, Kenya.

Mission Statement  -  KOP and friends of the Kenya Orphanage Project will support Jubilee Children's Center in Nairobi in the following ways:

?     Through cost effective fundraising and securing in-kind gifts for the construction and development of the orphanage campus.

?     Through a long term dedication to support with financial and in-kind giving the operations of Jubilee Children’s Center.

?     Through ensuring continuous education for the children and expanding the possibilities for a brighter future for them.

Our Hope
AIDS is a serious problem in Kenya and most of the children at Jubilee Children's Center are the unfortunate victims of the attack of AIDS on their parents. We hope that the work we are doing at this orphanage and school will be able to give back innocence to the children, and through our teaching and nurturing we hope to make them productive citizens of the world.

Your Help is Needed
Won't you please join our friends and supporters to help these innocent victims of AIDS overcome the desperation and hopelessness so we will be able to support the orphanage and complete the remaining phases of construction? The completion of all the phases will allow us to expand the capacity of the center to 300 children. Becoming a Kenya Orphanage Project supporter enriches your life in ways we can't begin to describe. We encourage you to become a supporter and find out how it feels to change a child's life, and perhaps your own as well.
