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 (AMB) began assisting this small, native-run orphanage in 2009. While the children were well cared for, limited resources created ongoing needs related to nutrition, facilities, and daily support.

AMB partners with Huruma to provide basic necessities, capital improvements, education, and self-sustainability projects. Through the sacrifice of donors and volunteers, the complex has continued to grow. Huruma is now home to approximately 60 orphans and provides education for hundreds of day students from the surrounding community. In 2016, AMB completed construction of a secondary school at Huruma. The primary school at the orphanage is one of the top-performing schools in the district and continues to excel academically.

Monthly financial support is essential as the staff at Huruma provides daily care, education, and Christian guidance. In addition to primary and secondary education, Huruma also supports college sponsorships, helping students continue their education beyond secondary school. Several program alumni have graduated and now serve through teaching, administration, and direct care for the children.

Your support helps sustain this work—providing stability, education, and a Christ-centered environment for children and students each day.
