The care from all who sponsor and support the ELI Children’s Homes in Kenya provides so much more than basic needs. In addition to a home, education, food, clothing, and healthcare the children experience a flourishing community, counseling, and a dynamic spiritual life so they can thrive.

When positive cases of COVID-19 were confirmed in Kenya, ELI leadership felt it important to no longer allow visitors to come and go from the homes. Months’ worth of food and supplies were purchased right away, and additional hand-washing stations were established throughout the homes. When the government closed all schools, the parents, top students in each grade, and many of the high schoolers began working together to facilitate at-home education. The children have been helping with the chores and even making liquid soap for the ELI Seeds of Hope program which is distributing soap and seeds to communities in need.
