Building a home for orphaned children

Moving Day
Construction began 2016 on the ground floor of the girl’s dormitory. 2018 commenced boy’s dormitory. 2020/2021 A large septic/waste water system installed along with a biogas system to produce gas for cooking. Early 2021, fit out of dorms completed. On 27 February 2021, dorms ready for occupation.  The big move was on!  An official ceremony involving cutting of a ribbon and a prayer of thanks to God was held to celebrate the move. June 2021, a generous sponsor enables a playground to be built shortly. The children can’t wait!

The Promised Land
In 2013, we purchased 1.5 acres in rural Kitale.
For the past couple of years, we have leased land for our animals to graze and to grow crops for food.  This lease was suddenly cancelled. November 2020, fundraising commenced to purchase another 2 acres of land that became available. This plot is directly across the road from the children’s home.
8 June 2021, Access Hope purchased this land through generous donors, sponsors and fundraisers. We are calling this land ‘Hope Village’ and will build accommodation; have space for our animals to graze; grow crops for the home; and have a playing field for the children.

Community Based Care​

Enabled by our kind sponsors, we provide children in the community with the essentials they cannot otherwise afford. Your monthly gift will help with:

• Assistance to families
• Food for the children and their family
• School fees
• School uniforms
• School bag and text books
• Funds for school excursions
• Medical expenses

​By enabling children to continue to live in their family home, we are making a difference in the children's family life and so benefiting the wider community.

Hope for Prisoners

This special project reaches out to prisoners to help train them in skills for the future. We:

• Continue a computer and administration skills training program for male prisoners at Kapenguria Prison, Kenya. This training program was launched in June 2019. 
• Provide training which includes computer and keyboard skills; communication; time management; presentation; team work, and writing skills.
• Employ local part-time trainers.
• Engage with the Prison via our existing Prison Chaplain network.
• Further assist the prisoners by our trainers using their social work knowledge.

Burundi Housing
                                                                                                - Providing homes for the poorest of poor

The Republic of Burundi is a small heart shaped country in central Africa with over 11 million people. In 2018, Linda was invited to Burundi's first International Women Leader's Conference in the capital city, Bujumbura.  The conference had a big impact upon Linda.  She met some amazing, humble and godly women doing extraordinary things for God in their own fields.  Linda also had the privilege of meeting Her Excellency, the First Lady of Burundi.  During this trip, Linda was introduced to Jane a Kenyan missionary running an organisation called Burundi Community Outreach Missions. We are now partnering with them to build houses for the poorest of the poor within the Batwa community.
To change lives by providing a brand new house for a poor family, please give $1200 today!
