Huruma Orphanage
Huruma Dolor (Kiswahili for “compassionate molding”) was founded by Peter Akweyona in 2005 with a vision to provide a loving, Christian environment for homeless children in Kenya. Africa Mission & Beyond began assisting this small, native-run orphanage in 2009. The children were loved, but due to lack of funds, they were living in unsanitary conditions and not receiving proper nutrition.
AMB has partnered with Huruma and assists them with basic necessities, capital improvements, education, and self-sustainability projects. The complex has grown due to the sacrifice of donors and volunteers. Huruma is now home to over 100 orphans and educates approximately 500 children. AMB finished building a secondary school at Huruma in 2016. The primary school at the orphanage is one of the best schools in the district and continues to outperform surrounding schools.
Monthly financial needs are continual as the staff at Huruma provides and ministers to these orphans. Many of these children were neglected, abused, and had no hope. It is through the sacrifice of donors that AMB is able to give help and hope to these hurting children.

The cost of an excavator was too high so these huge stones are being removed manually and the ground is being leveled to pour the foundation. We will begin with 1-2 classrooms and continue as funds are available. It will be such a help to have a better facility.
Funeral held for a parent of one of the school children. They were killed in the clashes surrounding the election in Kenya. Huruma is home to over 100 orphans, but also educates hundreds of community children between the Primary and Secondary schools.
