Once Umoja Orphanage Kenya has built their first children’s home you will be able to begin sponsoring a child–hopefully at the end of 2013. As we are still in the building stages of the orphanage project there are currently no children in our care; however, the first children’s home will house up to 12 children, depending on their age.

You can currently make a pledge to sponsor one of our future children. Your commitment is for two years minimum sponsorship and our promise to you is that 100% of your sponsorship money will go directly to your child. The cost to raise and educate a child at Umoja Children’s Village – Ukunda is $1100 per year. These fees can be paid by direct debit or cheque monthly or yearly in advance (these fees are not required until sponsorship begins)
Sponsorship includes:
- Food
- Clothing
- Health checks, vaccinations, and medical checks
- Social worker access
- Music and sporting equipment
- School fees
- Local excursions
Sponsored children will receive:
- Family-style accommodation—a house mother and house aunty
