A DREAM FOR A PURPOSE-BUILT HOME

The mission of Valley Light is to provide holistic care
for orphaned and abandoned children.

The Need

Maai Mahiu, Kenya, is a small, truck-stop, town which lies along the Great North Road, nicknamed HIV Highway, which runs through several countries in eastern Africa. Maai Mahiu has suffered from the HIVAIDS epidemic, partly due to prostitution. The results of this epidemic include a short life expectancy and a growing number of orphaned children. In addition, poverty, lack of education, and domestic challenges lead to over 20,000 children being abandoned each year in Kenya. Without intervention, the future of these young lives and the community as a whole remains vulnerable to the cycle of poverty, various forms of abuse, little opportunity for change, and ultimately no reason for hope.

The Opportunity

Valley Light Home is the dream realized and a longterm commitment of John and Leah, each born and raised in Kenya. After years of planning and careful strategy, Valley Light Home, opened its doors to take in 6 children in August 2009, the youngest one was a 6 week old baby. The mission is to provide holistic care to children who have been orphaned or  a abandoned, or from families who are not able to look after them. Currently, Valley Light is home to 31 children.

Each of these 31 children has their own stories to tell.  Let’s build a brighter future for them.

The New Valley Light Children’s Home Building Project

Building Project Phases

In 2018 we raised $340,000 towards our Bring Them Home Campaign to build a new home in a much safer location for all 31 children. Thank you for helping make that possible. To keep this project moving forward, this year we need funding to:

  • Build a Security Wall

  • Dig a well

  • Bring electricity to property

Each one of us holds a piece of the puzzle to creating a beautiful future for some precious children who have already overcome so much.

We invite you to put your piece of the puzzle into this picture and let’s build something beautiful together today!

Will you add your piece and build something beautiful?
