Hearth to Hearth Ministries' Orphanages
Hearth to Hearth Ministries has an orphanage in Kenya near Oyugis called Hope for
Children Center that is home to
over 250 orphans. Other orphanages in Kenya include Glory Children's Center
orphanage and Good Samaritan Lwanda Children's Home orphanage. Glory Children's Center, an
orphanage near Kisii, Kenya, has moved to land
that has been purchased for building a permanent orphanage. The building
phase has started and will proceed as funds are available. For more information and pictures of the different orphanages please click the links below.
Bridge of Hope Center Orphanage Bridge of Hope Center Orphanage, in Mbale, Uganda. Maranatha Children's Home Orphanage Maranatha Children's Home orphanage in Uganda is our newest orphanage with 11 orphans most of them still need a sponsor.
As shown on the graph below, nearly 100 orphans are being cared for that have not yet been sponsored. (It is no wonder that there is a shortage of funds!) That figure includes the 31 orphans that the Kenyan government brought to us; the 56 orphans that have been newly accepted into Glory Children's Center; and the orphans at the two orphanages that have only recently been made officially part of the Hearth to Hearth Ministries orphanage network.
The graphs on the link below were taken off a UNICEF website. They show the extent of the orphan problem in Africa. Before we get too discouraged we should remember that we are not expected to do more then we are able. Please read the story at the bottom of the page. Graphs on the orphan problem
in Africa. All over Africa many children are homeless and alone.
The following story was in Spotlight on Orphans Extra*. “One day after a bad storm a man went down to the beach by the ocean. As he was walking along the beach he noticed a little figure down by the water. As he got closer he saw that a little girl was picking up starfish and throwing them back in the water. Now, there were thousands of starfish on the beach and the man laughed at the girl. He said, ‘You don’t think that you can make a difference among all these starfish.’ The little girl just ignored him, bent over and picked up a starfish and threw it back into the sea. Then she turned to the man and said, ‘I made a difference to that one.’” Certainly that is all we can do. Make a difference in a few lives.
