St. Joseph's Home of Hope
Hunger is the number one problem. Children living on the streets of Kenya, have to compete with scavenger birds, while digging in the trash for food. They also sniff glue to forget their problems. This is not the life God intended for them. Glue destroys their brain, making them unable to think clearly. They begin to hallucinate and get confused.
Every night they sleep out in the cold, in ditches or on pavements without a mattress or blanket. During rainy season, many catch cold, and there is no medicine for them. Other times they are arrested by the police for petty theft. These children of God are so vulnerable in so many ways. Many do not live to celebrate their 15th birthday! They die alone.
Sr. Mary Wandia’s vision is to expand the work of Adorer Missionary Sisters of the Poor in Kenya, where there are 2.5 million orphans and 300,000 street children. The Orphanage’s initial goal would be to house 150 orphans from Kenyan Streets. The Mission of Saint Joseph’s Home of Hope, will be to give encouragement and hope to these orphans and street children by providing comprehensive support to each individual child, helping them to fulfill their true potential. Such help includes: food, clothing, accommodation, medical, education, and accompaniment.
