Hope Community Center is our second look at the work happening in Africa. If you missed our first, you can view it here. This orphanage is home to one hundred forty children but serves over three hundred. All of which have been orphaned through abandonment, abuse or parental death. Hope Community Center was founded in 1997 by Lucy Gacheru. She wants to take the love and care God shared with her throughout her life and give it to needy children in Kenya. The foundation of the Center is based upon Jeremiah 29.11.
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for wholeness and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
The children are fed well, clothed and schooled. Lucy holds them each in her heart as her own. In her constant effort to improve their facilities, she is now building a high school and raising funds for a medical clinic. You can follow their progress and find ways to help at the Center's website and Facebook page.
