Our Story
OPENHAND, KENYA was registered in 2003 as a Community Based organization under the Ministry of Culture and Social Services with the aim of alleviating homelessness to the vulnerable children. This culminated in opening a children`s home the same year to rescue abandoned babies.
VISION: The vision for Openhand Children`s Home is to work towards a society where vulnerable children have a right to survival in all areas of their lives, including the physical, emotional, psycho-social, cognitive, social and cultural development.
MISSION: To take into our care the orphaned and abandoned children from day one to three years old without distinction of s*x or race and thereby benefit them with the advancement of basic necessities of life, including love, Christian ethics and values, food, clothing, primary health care and formal education to help the children achieve holistic human development so as to be responsible members of the society.
MOTTO: You may not change the whole world but you can change the whole world for one person.
