Children From Our Partner Project: Springs of Hope

Springs of Hope is our partner project in Kenya. Its mission is to rescue the most desperate Nairobi-area babies and then nourish them until age five when they are ready to begin primary school.

The full nature of our partnership with Springs of Hope will be realized when the children come to live with us at the Red Rhino Orphanage. While there, RROP will educate them up to and through university, for all who are capable. And when they leave us they will be ready and able to lead the next generation of Kenyans.

Who We Will Serve

In addition to serving the children from Springs of Hope, we will dedicate ourselves to housing and educating the following:

Rescued Children

There are a number of children in and around the Nairobi/Machakos area who, for a variety of reasons: abandonment at birth or thereafter, severe physical and/or sexual abuse, or abject neglect are taken to rescue centers, where they are nourished, physically and emotionally. When these children reach school age (at about age five), we can give them a home and education.

Children at Risk

There is a critical period in the life of many children when they are at most risk of being thrown out onto the streets. The death of parent, physical abuse at home, parental drug abuse, or a downturn in the family’s financial situation could all lead to a child being abandoned.

Once these at-risk children land on the street and begin to experience its ravages, sexual exploitation, addiction to glue and other drugs, extreme nutritional deficiencies, and other innumerable health and personal safety issues, the road back becomes very steep and difficult. That is why it is so crucial to be able to identify children on the brink and intervene.

Local Orphans

Every aspect of the project is focused on local action and involvement. Our vision puts the children’s home at the center of local life. As such, we feel a special responsibility to provide a home and education for the orphans in our own area.
