About Us

We at Happy Life Children’s Home chose to do something about it!  Since 2002, we have rescued, and lovingly nurtured such babies, and also connected some of them with adoptive parents all over the world.  15 years later the rescue mission has seen over 450 children ranging from one day old to around six years, come to Happy Life, with over 250 of them getting adopted or placed in foster care awaiting adoption. Poverty and unemployment, health challenges, alcohol and drug abuse as well as dysfunctional family systems are some of the suggested reasons for abandonment in Kenya. In 2015 alone, 50 children were rescued, 17 were re-united with relatives and 23 children started the adoption process.  It is exciting to state that unlike 10 years ago, more and more Kenyans are now adopting children into their homes.

LOCATIONS

Roysambu Home

The 1/4 acre property has two buildings:

1. A four-story home currently housing the children both infants and toddlers, offices, and volunteer housing
2. An upcoming medical center for children

This is home to the infants and younger children below three years of age.   The Center is a hive of activity with mothers taking care of up to 50 children, with at least 20 of them below one year. By May 2017, the Nairobi campus was home to 48 children: 36 infants below 2 years and 12 toddlers.

Juja Home

Juja Farm Center is built on a bigger piece of land and is Home to 65 school-going children at least three years of age. Each of the four complete 3- bed roomed houses shelters a mother and several children.  We are excited to see the commencement of construction of the 2nd story houses. This will help ease the congestion in the current homes in pursuit of the dream of ‘10 children per home’
bringing them to a maximum of 100 children if we build up to 10 homes.  The Multi-purpose hall continues to be used as a church on Sunday, a play area in bad weather and a dining hall during the week.  Having a church at the Center has given the children a great opportunity to be part and parcel of the local community.
