Hamomi Children’s Centre improves the lives of orphaned and vulnerable children in Nairobi, Kenya by allowing them to develop into adults with the skills necessary to improve their own social and economic condition.

We offer comprehensive care by creating a safe and nurturing environment through which we provide the widest array of opportunities possible.

We have been a small community project since 1999 and expanded to include our US advocacy arm in 2007. In 2015 we brought on Joy Nafungo, our Executive Director. She is an experienced leader who is taking us into a stage of sustainability that hopes to make us independent of donations in the long term.

Her vision and experience make it an exciting time at Hamomi!

At Hamomi, we unite short term needs and long term vision. That means continually expanding the basic services we provide, while simultaneously investing in our sustainability. In 2013, with the purchase of land, we completed our first Five-Year Strategic Plan, (in four years). This has allowed us to turn a corner into a very bright new era of building and investing in our long term sustainable vision.

In 2016, this approach continues. We provide basic services and a strong education, while simultaneously designing permanent structures to sustainably fit the needs of our 120 students, 43 scholarship recipients and 13 staff members.

Critical Steps Moving Forward:

• Designing and building permanent structures which we can develop into a profitable school that functions free of donations by enrolling 120 paying students who compensate for the 120 disadvantaged students.
• Transitioning the Hamomi Secondary School Scholarship Recipients into Hamomi University Scholarship Recipients.
• Expanding the social businesses we have founded to create more jobs for parents, guardians and alumni.
• Teaching social business principles to alumni and investing in their business ideas.
