Program areas at Family Keys
Financial support provided to Tumaini Childrens Home, a non-profit corporation in Eldoret, Kenya. Funds used to provide for the daily needs of 44 orphaned children, including food, clothing, shelter, education, and medical care. The childrens home is managed by missionaries Horace and Phyllis Leister, with support from Josh and Rachel Leister. The childrens home employs a staff of 12 Kenyans including three certified school teachers and a certified social worker. These employees care for the children 24 hours per day, seven days a week. They also assist with farming and care of livestock used to provide a portion of the home's food, maintain the facilities, and provide night time security. The only overhead type expense is a wire transfer fee to pay for monthly transfers from a US bank to the childrens home receiving entity in Kenya. Tumaini Childrens Home will continue to be supported by Family Keys. It is hoped funds can be raised to support a larger school building and perhaps additional housing for the expanded number of children now living there. Additional farming equipment and a larger vehicle for transporting more children at one time is hoped for. The school will also begin educating some children from the surrounding area as resources allow.
