One of the greatest needs in the city is the provision of an effective school to cater the specific needs for children that come from backgrounds of abuse and other related desperate backgrounds. It is our hope to extend our plot of land in such a way as to accommodate a school with a nursery, kindergarten and primary school education. These are very important areas of education and intervention for orphans and abused children. Our aim would be to provide the best possible education for the children to give them a fighting chance to rejoin the community, forge their our positive livelihoods and challenge the local community towards greater values in life.

The call to go into all the nations and make disciples not just new new believers is at the heart of our work. We acknowledge the fact that we are in most cases ill equipped and far from the people we seek to reach. Over the years it has been a joy to work with believers, ministers and churches that reach out to the needs of the poor. We have been challenged and encouraged in most cases and above all we now know that though the work be plenty out there, there are many committed servants out there too.

What it is not to have a home or to have a home that is not worth living in or to have a home where people care but they cannot be able to look after oneself is a reality we have seen over and over again over the years we have worked among the poor people, the slums and the sick. We strongly believe that children are best looked after at home among their own relatives. However, we also know that this is not always the case due to many reasons. We strive to unite parents with children and to support parents/relatives/guardians to look after their own children but we don not persist on this route to the detriment of vulnerable children.

Sekanani is a beautiful rural area approximately 3 hours from Nairobi. It shares its boundary with the world famous Masai Mara reserve.
Jengana has given me an opportunity to study and meet new people, network, and build my career. It has given me a chance to be different and a better person.
I have been enabled to realize and achieve my dreams of becoming a successful business person.
This opportunity has made me rediscover my potential, dreams and goals. Now I have hope that one day, they shall come to pass.
Hope+Love+Determination: these are the ingredients that kindle the flames of a dying dream back to life. To experience this first hand in the lives of the young people impacted by Jengana is so fulfilling, and the reward, priceless.
If you would like any more information on the work of Jengana, to ask any questions, or to get involved, we would love to hear from you.
