Because you care,
vulnerable children
will have a bright future!
Our primary mission is to provide vulnerable orphans and other needy children from poverty-stricken families in Kenya with a quality high school and university education. Because of their vulnerability, these children are susceptible to forced-early marriage, child labor, and many other destructive lifestyles.
Transforming Lives
-
Caring Hearts & Hands of Hope provides hundreds of Kenyan vulnerable children with a quality high school and university/vocational training college education through sponsorship. We have two boarding high school facilities, Caring Hearts High School for girls in Nguluni and Caring Hearts High School-Kangundo for boys in Kangundo, both in Machakos County.
-
Caring Hearts & Hands of Hope provide medical support, as needed, to allow our students to be healthy so they can focus on learning, succeeding, and breaking this cycle of poverty, instead of sending them to languish at home without medical attention.
-
In addition to tuition and medical support, Caring Hearts and Hands of Hope also provide our girls with feminine hygienic supplies, mainly Days for Girls (DfGs) kits so that they can concentrate on their studies without missing school. We provide, when necessary, famine relief food for the families of our students when they are at home, and in some cases even when the students are in school.
-
Over the years, Caring Hearts and Hands of Hope has built modern and safe houses for some of our students who live in extremely deplorable conditions. Those houses make our students feel secure and provide the environment they need for private studies when away from school.
“The only reason I am in the world at this moment in time with the tools that God has given me is to make a positive difference in other people’s lives.”
— Dr. Vincent Muli-Kituku, Founder of Caring Hearts & Hands of Hope
Sponsorship Program
In Kenya, after 8th grade schooling all students have to pay for their high school education. If a child lacks the $825 a year for school fees, books, supplies, uniforms, food, room and board, they aren't able to join school, forcing them to remain in the cycle of poverty that has plagued their families and local communities.
Caring Hearts High Schools
From 2010 to 2014, Caring Hearts and Hands of Hope used sponsor students, both boys and girls, at different high school. As the number of sponsored students grew and were attending more than 70 different schools, it became difficult to know whether sponsors funds were being utilized effectively. We began facing unexpected challenges such as dealing with uncooperative and corrupt principals. This left us no choice but to purchase a failing girls boarding school and started operating our own girls boarding (Caring hearts High School) in 2015.
We, however, continued sponsoring boys at different high schools. By 2020, we were convinced that we needed our own boys’ high school after our girls’ school became a regional academic powerhouse, ranked number 1 out of 52 schools in Matungulu Sub-County and 7 out 452 schools in Machakos County.
In 2021, we started a boys’ boarding school, Caring Hearts High School-Kangundo.
Humanitarian Projects
Soon after starting to sponsor students in different schools, we learned about their daily struggles, such lack of food, medicine, feminine hygienic supplies and habitable housing. We found out some girls would not go to class some days of the month due to lack of hygienic supplies. When students were sick and sent home for treatment, their families, that lacked food, could not afford to take the sick student to hospital. Another reality was that some of the structures used as house were completely inhabitable.
That’s when we made feminine hygienic supplies, food relief, medical support and basic housing our main humanitarian projects so that we could help our sponsored students focus on their studies.
