About Us

Watoto Wa Baraka manages an orphanage north of Nairobi, near a town called Makuyu. Here we house the neediest orphans and provide them with basic physical, social and spiritual care. Orphans receive regular meals, attend school and receive care

Most of our volunteer programs are based from the orphanage and involve work such as construction, childcare, fieldwork and teaching.
