This is what we are

Our Story

The HIV/AIDS pandemic has impacted every corner of the globe, but no region has been more devastated by this disease and its effects than Sub-Saharan Africa. In the late 1990s, Kenya declared HIV/AIDS a national disaster. By this time, the disease was pervasive and had rendered huge segments of the population vulnerable, especially the children. Government statistics indicate that more than six percent of the Kenyan population are orphans. Poverty exacerbates vulnerability, with slums bearing the highest numbers of orphans and incidences of HIV/AIDS.

Our call is to show these children love by giving them hope for a better life and the tools to achieve their utmost potential. In February 2005, Stephen and Rosemary Mbogo founded ByGrace Children's Home in Ngong, a city on the outskirts of Kenya's capital, Nairobi. Since the home's founding it has been a safe haven for many orphaned and at risk children.

Soon after the establishment of ByGrace Children's Home, the children's need for a proper education prompted the establishment of the adjacent school. The school has since been expanded and has made available quality education to a greater number of children.
