There are two final initiatives that need to be completed before the new Rehoboth Home is ready for occupancy. The Home is essentially complete, but a Central Septic System needs to be built and the Home furnishings need to be purchased before girls can move into the home. Please go to the links below to learn how you can help to make this home a reality and enable PCH to bring another 20 girls to the campus as soon as possible. Thank you!

Seven of our orphanage girls are now officially high school students!  Not only that, they are in boarding school at Joram Gitau Memorial Academy.

In January, Kathie Mann, Director of the Partners In Missions (PIM) program for the Texas Conference of the United Methodist Church, visited the PCH Campus in Ngong, Kenya. She was accompanied by UMC missionaries who will be serving at the Maua Hospital facilities north of Nairobi. PCH has a close working relationship with the Methodist Church Kenya, with particular emphasis on operation of the Joram Gitau Memorial Clinic.

The UMC has recognized PCH as a mission partner organization and donations can be made through any UMC church with reference to Advance Number 3019212. A PIM Mission Team from Texas will visit the campus in Kenya in late July and early August. To learn more about that trip, click here.

Thanks to all who contributed to the Christmas Wish List this year. Thanks to you, all of the needs identified for the orphanage were funded. God has truly blessed PCH with such great supporters. We will be providing pictures in the next few days of some of the items and activities provided through your generosity.

Effective November 1, 2011, Larry Watson became the new Chairman of the PCH Board and Executive Director U.S. Stephen Githumbi, who is relocating to Kenya, is now Vice Chairman. Stephen will become Executive Director Kenya upon his arrival in Kenya later this month. The changes were made to enable the development of PCH staff, both in the U.S. and at the campus in Kenya.

Larry has been a Board member since 2000 and has been Vice Chairman of the Board since 2002. He is recently retired from a 33 year career with ConocoPhillips.

Stephen recently retired from the Pomona Unified School District, where he served as a teacher for 23 years and is an ordained Presbyterian Pastor, serving most recently with the Kenya International Community Church in the Los Angeles area. Stephen and his wife, Hannah, are returning to Kenya after living in the U.S. for almost 20 years. As Executive Director Kenya, Stephen will oversee the daily operations of all activities at the PCH campus. As career educators, both he and Hannah will be especially involved with the development of educational opportunities at Joram Gitau Memorial Academy.

Our girls are now living happy and healthy lives at Providence Children’s Home and Community Center. They each come from different regions in Kenya, some from one of the largest slums in Africa – Kibera. This means they speak different languages and have different originating communities but what they all have in common is that both their mothers and fathers died from HIV/AIDS when they were very young.

Please click here to read more about who we are.

There are millions of children orphaned by HIV/AIDS in Sub-Sahara Africa. Over two million such children live in Kenya alone. With your help Providence Children’s home can provide a safe, healthy and loving home to children in the Ngong Hills region of Kenya, about 30 kilometers west of Nairobi. In this Christian based environment, the children also get a strong educational foundation and quality health care through our school and clinic, that both meet the needs of the local and broader regional communities.
