Our History:
Tuwape Tumanini has a rich history working with children and youth. It began with the establishment of Children’s Hope Home. Children’s Hope Home was founded by Lucy and Duncan Ndegwa who have always had a passion for advocating for disadvantaged children and youth. While taking care of their own family, Lucy and Duncan would spend endless nights and early mornings on the streets tea
ching, talking, laughing, and sharing the love of God with the children, giving them hope for a better future. One day Lucy and Duncan invited the street youth to their home for the holidays, giving birth to what is now Children’s Hope Home. Since the creation of Children’s Hope Home, many more children and youth have found a new place to call home. Due to the continual growth of their new family, Lucy and Duncan decided to expand the home in order to support more children and youth in need. As a result, Tuwape Tumaini Children’s Foundation was established. Tuwape Tumaini Children’s Foundation strives to change and advocate for many livelihoods. We have been working together since 2010 on several community projects while supporting over 300 children and youth. We have stood by families and community partners while creating opportunities for them that they may not have had prior. Tuwape Tumaini works to empower children and youth to create equal opportunity for all. We believe in working hand in hand with each child’s needs to help them achieve the fullest potential in life.
