Our Mission
“One Home Many Hopes” is a loving home for orphaned and abandoned girls in Mtwapa, Kenya. Known in Kenya as “Mudzini Kwetu”, OHMH finds, rescues, houses, loves and educates former street children and equips them to be the future agents of change in their community. Our philosophy is that investing in education and family support for children is the most effective way of ending cyclical poverty.

Mudzini Kwetu: Today and Tomorrow
Today: There are 35 parentless girls who had spent their earliest years surviving on Mtwapa’s streets and trash piles. Today they live as one family, attend school, and care for one another. The girls have a safe place to sleep, food to eat and a second chance at childhood. We were named "Best Home in the District" by Kenya's Government Inspector's Report in April 2007.
Tomorrow: While Mudzini Kwetu’s current surroundings are adequate, it is imperative to ensure the well-being of the other girls who will need Mudzini Kwetu someday soon.One Home Many Hopes is raising a generation of children who will be the lawyers and teachers and doctors and nurses and journalists that will build the schools and dig the wells and construct the toilets so the next generation of children does not suffer as they did. Your support is not a donation, but an investment.

Teams for Childhoods
If you and four friends each pledge $30 per month ($7 per week) your team will fully support food, clothing, medical, care and treats for one of your girls.
That's skipping a restaurant meal a month or a drink a week.
Thank you (‘Asante’) for helping us put smiles on the faces of these young lives. We aim to share our ideas with other homes in the region and teach them the lessons we have learned.
