Generations Children's Home
A place for orphaned, abandoned,
or otherwise neglected children to be
housed, cared for, and loved. The
Christian home environment includes
gardens, goats, chickens, solar lighting, a
kitchen, and a dining room. All children
are sponsored for public school
attendance where many progress to the
secondary school level. With education,
food, clothing, and moral upbringing,
these children build hope and promise
for the future. You can be a part of that
future by supporting a child or
contributing to construction projects and
the overall operation. |
Home Atmosphere, Self-Sufficient
Our facility in Tharaka, Kenya has two large houses with nine
living quarters, a kitchen, a dining room, a pantry, water
storage, showers and flush toilets. Solar panels provide for
lighting in all the rooms and security lights. A second facility
is being built on our property in the city of Meru, Kenya.
Our 5 acres includes a garden, goats, chickens, and many
banana and mango trees. The volcanic soil is very productive
when water is available. A nearby stream and a gasoline water
pump prove invaluable. The goats are kept in a safe and clean
environment and the chickens give eggs for local use and for
selling. The garden produces enough beans, maize, and peas
to store for future use.

Sponsor a Child |
Dear Sponsors and Friends
Well I’m back from another visit to Kenya and your sponsored child. This trip I was accompanied by two new visitors to Africa. In addition they both have been sponsors for several years. What a joy it was for them to actually see their children and further build a relationship. They also got to meet the children’s mothers. Additionally they were presented with “blessings” of gifts from these mothers. Laura received four fresh eggs and Deb received a live chicken. Benson had agreed to keep the chicken and report any chicks that come about.
During the visit we conducted a Vacation Bible School with the same theme that our church had done several months ago. When we planned it we could not have imagined that on the first day we would have had over 600 children. With less than half that number of plates and cups, it took many local women to serve a big lunch, gather plates, wash them, and continue serving. It all worked out like it had been planned. After VBS, we had a one-day Women’s Seminar. This event was also well attended. When the last woman picked up her meal, we handed her the last cup of lemonade. What a wonderful time everyone had.
