Watu Wangu Foundation was founded in the year 2007 for the purpose of building a children's home in the town Tulia in Kenya. From 2007 through beginning of 2011 the 'hardware' was constructed: the buildings. Since April 2011 Watu Wangu Children's Centre is operational. The survival of the children's centre is totally dependent on volunteers and donors. Our website contains information about the orphanage, the children, what the possibilities are for you to help us as a volunteer and how else you can support us. Thank you in advance for your commitment and your support.

The children's home
Thanks to the involvement and help of many volunteers and donors the building of the orphanage was completed in March 2011. On April 30, 2011, the orphanage was opened with an official ceremony and we started with the reception of the first 14 children. Meanwhile we house and care for 19 children, mostly orphans and children abandoned by their parents. A team of 11 people is responsible for the daily routine. You can find more information on the children's home here.

Support us
For the financing of the children's home we fully depend on the support of others, such as you. You can help us by means of a donation. You can also book your wildlife safari in Kenya through us. You can book a stay at Watu Wangu Private Lodge. If you are good at organizing, you could organize a fundraiser, for instance with your club, your company or your school. More information on how you can support us can be found here.

Volunteers
We call on you to help at the children's home as a volunteer. With your personal background you can give this a unique character. Would you like to participate in every day life at the orphanage, perhaps for your study or internship, or for personal reasons? Volunteers can find residence at Watu Wangu Private Lodge, approximately three kilometers from the children's home. Look here for more information about the possibilities and costs.

Financial adoption

Financial adoption
Housing, caring and schooling cost a lot of money. That is no different in Kenya than it is anywhere else in the world. We ask of you to financially adopt one or more of the children by contributing structurally and for a longer period of time in these costs. More information on this subject can be found here.
