Overview
Mission

What it reported doing in 2024
Project 82 kenya, inc undertakes the mission of promoting physical, educational, scientific, and spiritual wellbeing of orphans in kenya through partnership and collaboration with kenyan churches and christian faith based organizations.project 82 kenya, inc has supported a foreign organization that accomplishes the following:1. Molo vulnerable children's ministry is located in molo, kenya and is primarily focused on non-infant orphans and vulnerable children with primary emphasis on the children's physical, emotional, and spiritual health with strong emphasis on their education and preparation to have life skills that will enable them to be self sustaining adults. Outcomes are most likely to be maximized when the child can be safely reunited into their biological families (as adoption is not a likely option for non-infants). The most vulnerable children are cared for at house of hope, though efforts continue where possible to reunite the children with their biological family. Programs/training directed at guardian self sustainability is emphasized. At december 31, 2024 there were over 250 children and over 100 self-sustainable guardians supported.2. Neema house baby rescue, located in nanyuki, kenya, is a ministry that focuses primarily on the rescue of abandoned infants that generally range in age from birth to several years old. The goal of the ministry is to return the infants to full health and to then accomplish their reunification into either their biological family or an adoptive family. Various forms of support and monitoring are provided to the families as needed. Through december 31, 2024, over 250 babies were rescued and reunited or adopted into families or were in the process of one or the other. The neema house ministry also provides support and assistance to a local ministry for special needs children. In addition, the ministry works with women in crisis pregnancies to try to prevent infant abandonment, to assist the mother in the healthy and successful delivery of her baby, and to enable the mother to sustain support for her family and children.
