Why Makindu?

The Makindu Children's Program provides critical resources to orphaned and vulnerable children in eastern Kenya, ensuring they have access to food, education, and essential care. Through the Makindu Children's Centre, hundreds of children receive meals, emotional support, crisis intervention, and a safe place to learn and grow.
