New Hope Children's Centre – Uplands is a registered charitable Children's Home dedicated to lifting orphaned children out of poverty and ignorance, and giving them hope for a better future.
Our concern is to show love and kindness to them, but more especially (by God's grace) to help them 'know God and Jesus Christ whom He hath sent'.
Location
The Home is situated at Githuya Area, Uplands (about 42Km from Nairobi) along the Nairobi-Nakuru Highway – near the View-Point of the Escarpment overlooking the Great Rift Valley
Our Objectives
- To take care of orphans, bringing them up in the fear of God through the Christian faith, helping them to know Jesus Christ as their Lord & Saviour.
- To promote self-reliance in the child by providing training and experiences that will help them excel in life.
- To build the child's social responsibility so that they may give back to the community and make the world a better place.
- To strive to become an independent and self-sustaining entity.
What we offer
We are offering basic necessities in life i.e. food, shelter, clothing, education (up to high school). Children wishing to pursue further education may do so, subject to the availability of funds. Others will be encouraged to take some training of their interest.
Our Children
We admit destitute orphan children without a home, or who are living with guardians who are unable to take care of them due to extreme poverty or physical disability. However, dire cases of poverty may also be considered.
Today there are over 130 children in the Home, who hail from the following areas: Lari Division, Banana-Kiambaa, Murang’a, Limuru, Nyeri, Gatundu, Nairobi, Kiambu, Kinangop, Ol Kalou, Nyandarua, Samburu
Funding
The Home relies solely on the benevolence and generosity of individual/corporate wellwishers for its survival. Any help (in cash or in kind) is highly appreciated.
How the Home begun
Mr. & Mrs. Chege (formerly employees of Bank of Baroda & Barclays Bank respectively) brought up, in their home, several orphans and destitute children together with their four children.
They later on left employment and went into full-time ministry, as volunteers in service of the Most High God. Their children too assist in this work.
The Home was officially opened on 16th April 2000 with Mr. & Mrs. Chege as the Directors of the Home
Facilitators
At present, Mr. & Mrs. Chege run the Home as full-time volunteers, assisted by 12 staff and a committee of 9 members.
Occasionally volunteers from the local community and abroad do come to assist.
