The Nyumbani Village in Kenya will be a self-sustaining community to serve orphans and elders who have been left behind by the “lost generation” of the AIDS pandemic.

Through group homes and community institutions, the Village will harness the energy of youth and the maturity of elders to create new blended families that foster healing, hope and opportunity. The goal is to provide compassion and service to all affected by AIDS, so that they will rise up to lead productive, safe and comfortable lives.

The Village provides a family-like setting for orphaned children under the stewardship of elderly adults and ensures that the community-based clients and Village residents will receive love, sustenance, health-care and education, aiming at their physical and spiritual development. 

With an ample area of tillable land, the occupants will sustain themselves through agriculture, poultry, dairy projects as well as handicrafts and external services. The adolescents will benefit from the knowledge of the elderly occupants, who in turn will benefit from the support of the younger population. Vocational opportunity in the form of training, tools, and start up financing for trades, cottage industry and agricultural endeavors will be provided with the goal of self-sustaining independence, financial security and stability for residents, particularly maturing young people.
