When talking about the the Kithoka Amani Community Home (KACH), we sometimes catch ourselves cringing as we use the word "orphanage", feeling like the connotation around the word might not be the most positive, or might simply not do KACH justice. We thought, maybe it should be called a "childrens' home" or "community home" and so on… In the end, we decided it was time to just reclaim the word

The gardens and the kids are thriving at our first project KACH and we are about to embark on the next piece of the sustainability plan there dubbed, The Cottage Project. The Cottage Project will provide housing for the visitors and volunteers at KACH and will generate extra income to help sustain the home.

AI recently finished work on the dining hall at KACH. It took us over a year to complete, but when it was all said and done, we are pretty proud of what was accomplished.
