Our Programs — Empowering Orphaned and Vulnerable Children in Kenya
At Casaupendo Community-Based Organization (CBO), we run a variety of transformational programs that give orphaned and vulnerable children in Kenya the care and opportunities they deserve. Each program is designed to restore hope, dignity, and a brighter future through practical support and spiritual guidance.
Some of our programs are already changing lives, while others are still in the development stage — and your partnership can help us bring them to life. Through your support, we continue to provide food, education, shelter, healthcare, counseling, and life-skills training that empower children to rise and thrive.
💛 Together, we can change the story of orphaned children—one life at a time. 
Nutrition Program
On January 11, 2019, Casaupendo Orphanage launched its Nutrition Program to ensure that every orphaned and vulnerable child in Kenya under our care receives three nutritious meals a day and the strength to learn, grow, and dream.
Each child enjoys a balanced daily menu planned to meet their physical and developmental needs.
-
Breakfast: Oatmeal with milk to provide energy and focus for the day.
-
Lunch: A healthy, home-cooked meal served between 12:30 PM and 1:30 PM before children return to school.
-
Dinner: A wholesome meal served between 5:30 PM and 6:30 PM, giving the children time to complete homework and rest well.
-
Fruits and snacks: Fresh seasonal fruits are added daily to boost vitamins and overall health.
Through your generosity, Casaupendo continues to fight child hunger, promote nutrition education, and provide sustainable feeding solutions for children in need.
💛 A well-fed child is a hopeful child. Join us in nourishing the next generation.
Education Program — Empowering Orphaned Children Through Learning
At Casaupendo Orphanage, we believe that education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty and giving every orphaned and vulnerable child in Kenya a chance for a brighter future. Our Education Program ensures that every child enrolled in our care has access to quality education, personal guidance, and emotional support.
Our dedicated team of volunteers and mentors
regularly visit each child’s school to meet with teachers, monitor
academic progress, and address any behavioral or emotional challenges
that might affect learning. We make sure that tuition fees are paid on time,
and we work closely with schools to ensure that every Casaupendo child
has the materials and encouragement they need to succeed.
Each school is visited at least twice a month
to assess progress, celebrate achievements, and offer additional
support when needed. Through these consistent efforts, our children
have learned to focus on their studies, build confidence, and
collaborate positively with their teachers.
💛 At Casaupendo, education is more than schooling — it’s empowerment, transformation, and hope for a better tomorrow.
 Spiritual Mentorship — Nurturing Faith and Purpose in Every Child
At Casaupendo Orphanage, we believe that true healing comes from nurturing both the heart and the spirit. Our Spiritual Mentorship Program helps orphaned and vulnerable children in Kenya grow in faith, hope, and love as they discover their identity and purpose in God.
We have partnered with local churches and faith-based organizations within our region to ensure that every child in our program has the opportunity to attend church, receive spiritual guidance, and develop a personal relationship with Christ.
Through our network of spiritual counselors, pastors, and volunteers, children participate in Bible studies, prayer sessions, worship experiences, and evangelism outreach. On weekends, our volunteers also visit nearby homes to share the Gospel message and encourage families within the community.
At Casaupendo, we believe that every child should grow physically, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually. By grounding our children in faith, we are raising a generation that is resilient, compassionate, and purpose-driven.
💛 “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” — Proverbs 22:6
Counseling Program — Healing Hearts, Restoring Hope
At Casaupendo Orphanage, we understand that every child’s story carries deep emotional pain, loss, and trauma. That’s why our Counseling Program provides free psychological support to all orphaned and vulnerable children in Kenya enrolled in our care.
Counseling sessions are conducted at our center on a need-based approach by our resident psychologist and trained volunteers. In addition to one-on-one therapy, we also hold group counseling sessions where children learn coping skills, build resilience, and experience healing through peer support and faith-based care.
Many of our children have endured grief, abandonment, or chronic illness, including HIV/AIDS passed from parent to child at birth. These children require continuous emotional support, monitoring, and compassion to help them heal and live fulfilling lives.
We are always seeking qualified volunteers with backgrounds in psychology, social work, or counseling to join us in offering care, comfort, and hope.
💛 Your partnership helps children overcome trauma, rebuild confidence, and discover joy again.

Health Care Program
At Casaupendo Orphanage, we believe that every orphaned and vulnerable child in Kenya deserves access to quality healthcare and medical support. Good health gives our children the strength to learn, play, and grow into the healthy, hopeful adults God created them to be.
Our Health Care Program aims to provide consistent medical attention to children within our orphanage. We are working toward establishing a fully equipped first aid room stocked with essential medication, reagents, and medical equipment that will enable volunteer nurses and clinicians to attend to the children’s health needs on-site.
We also plan to introduce telehealth services to reach families in remote areas and organize medical camps that bring free healthcare to children and neighbors in need. Our caring volunteers regularly monitor each child’s weight, height, blood pressure, and overall well-being. Minor illnesses and injuries are treated by our resident or visiting nurse, while more serious cases are referred to local hospitals for professional care.
Casaupendo ensures that all children receive routine vaccinations, preventive check-ups, and continuous monitoring for any health concerns.
We rely heavily on volunteer nurses, clinicians, and healthcare partners to keep this vital program running. You can support this initiative by:
-
Donating funds for medicine, reagents, and medical supplies
-
Shipping equipment to our first aid center
-
Volunteering your medical expertise to care for our children
💛 Your gift brings healing, comfort, and renewed strength to the children and community we serve.

Life Skills Programs
Art & Craft Program — Healing Through Creativity
At Casaupendo Orphanage, we believe that creativity is a powerful path to healing. Our Art and Craft Program offers orphaned and vulnerable children in Kenya a safe space to express their emotions, discover their talents, and begin their journey toward emotional recovery.
Through art therapy,
children use painting, drawing, and crafting to process trauma, build
confidence, and reconnect with hope. These creative sessions not only
nurture emotional well-being but also teach valuable life skills such
as patience, teamwork, and self-expression.
The Art and Craft Class is open to both children in our program and those from the surrounding community, promoting connection, healing, and inclusion.
 Baking Program — Building Confidence, One Loaf at a Time
At Casaupendo Orphanage, we equip orphaned and vulnerable children in Kenya with practical skills that inspire independence and self-confidence. Our Baking Program teaches children how to bake delicious breads, cakes, and pastries — while fostering teamwork, creativity, and joy.
Thanks to the generous donation of an oven,
Casaupendo has launched several successful baking projects for the
children and the surrounding community. Each baking session not only
fills the air with the aroma of fresh bread but also fills hearts with hope and accomplishment.
The program helps children learn essential life and vocational skills, preparing them for a future where they can support themselves and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
You can help us expand this program by donating baking ingredients and supplies such as flour, sugar, yeast, eggs, and baking tools. Every contribution makes a tangible difference.
💛 Your gift helps a child learn, create, and rise — one loaf at a time.
👉 Support the Baking Program today.
Sewing Program — Stitching Skills, Weaving Hope
At Casaupendo Orphanage, we believe in empowering orphaned and vulnerable children in Kenya with practical skills that prepare them for a brighter and more independent future. Our Sewing Program gives children the opportunity to learn the art of tailoring — a skill that builds creativity, discipline, and self-reliance.
Thanks to the generous donation of a sewing machine, Casaupendo has been able to produce clothing and school uniforms for our children at half the usual cost,
ensuring every child has access to comfortable and dignified attire.
The program also extends to members of the community, creating an
environment of learning and collaboration.
Through sewing, children gain vocational training, develop patience, and experience the joy of creating something useful with their own hands.
You can support this life-changing project by donating fabric, thread, and sewing materials. Your contribution will help provide new clothing for every child in our home — a true gift of love, dignity, and confidence.
💛 Every stitch tells a story of hope. Help us clothe children with love.
👉 Support the Sewing Program today.
Computer Program — Empowering Children Through Technology
At Casaupendo Orphanage, we are committed to preparing orphaned and vulnerable children in Kenya for the digital age. Our Computer Program
introduces children to basic computer skills, helping them gain the
knowledge and confidence needed to succeed in today’s technology-driven
world.
Thanks to the generous donation of a computer,
Casaupendo has begun teaching children how to use essential software,
type, research safely online, and explore digital learning resources.
These skills open new doors to education, creativity, and future employment opportunities.
However, with over 30 children currently in the program, we urgently need more computers to expand our classes and include additional children from the surrounding community.
You can help us bridge the digital gap by donating computers, laptops, or funds
toward purchasing new equipment. Your support empowers children to
dream bigger, learn faster, and step confidently into the future.
💛 Technology transforms possibilities into purpose. Help us connect every child to opportunity.

Goat Farming Project — Building Sustainability, One Herd at a Time
At Casaupendo Orphanage, we are committed to creating a sustainable future that will continue to support orphaned and vulnerable children in Kenya for generations to come. One of our key sustainability initiatives is the Goat Farming Project, which provides food, income, and long-term stability for the children in our care.
Through the generosity of our supporters, Casaupendo received two female goats and one male goat
to begin the project. Unfortunately, we lost our male goat to sudden
illness, which has affected our breeding process. We are now seeking
support to purchase a new male goat to restart and grow our herd.
This project also requires ongoing resources such as goat feed, shelter improvements, and regular veterinary care to keep the animals healthy and productive. With your help, the Goat Farming Project will continue to provide milk, nutrition, and income to sustain our children’s daily needs.
You can support this life-sustaining initiative by sending a gift toward purchasing a breeding goat, feed, or veterinary care. Every contribution helps us move closer to becoming a fully self-sustaining orphanage.
💛 Your gift today helps us grow a legacy of care and sustainability for the children of Casaupendo.

Chicken Farming Project — Feeding Hope, Growing Sustainability
At Casaupendo Orphanage, we are passionate about building a self-sustaining home that can meet the long-term needs of orphaned and vulnerable children in Kenya. Our Chicken Farming Project is one of the ways we are working toward this goal — by providing a reliable source of eggs and nutrition for the children in our care.
This project was established to supply fresh, healthy eggs for our daily nutrition program. However, our egg incubator recently malfunctioned, interrupting the breeding of baby chicks and slowing the project’s progress. We are now seeking support to purchase a new egg incubator so we can continue expanding our poultry farm and increase egg production.
Our chickens require nutritious feed, regular vaccinations, and veterinary care to remain healthy and productive. Your gift toward chicken feed, medication, or new equipment will go a long way in helping us sustain this vital project.
By supporting the Chicken Farming Project, you are helping Casaupendo provide food security, skills training, and long-term sustainability for children who deserve a hopeful future.
💛 Every egg laid is a symbol of hope and provision. Your support keeps this life-giving project growing strong.

Fish Farming Project — Cultivating Skills, Feeding Futures
In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, schools across Kenya were closed, and the children at Casaupendo Orphanage
remained home for safety. Instead of letting this difficult season go
to waste, the children put their time and knowledge to good use by
starting our Fish Farming Project — a creative and sustainable way to provide food and hands-on learning.
With the generous support of one of our donors, Casaupendo purchased baby fish (fingerlings)
and built fish ponds where the children and volunteers now take turns
caring for the fish every day. Through this program, the children are
learning valuable lessons in responsibility, agriculture, and sustainable food production.
Today, our ponds are thriving, and the children occasionally enjoy fresh fish for dinner, celebrating the fruits of their hard work and teamwork.
You can support this growing initiative by sending a gift toward fish feed, pond maintenance, or expansion
of our fish farming project. Your generosity helps us teach practical
skills while ensuring that our children enjoy healthy, nutritious meals.
💛 Your gift feeds both body and mind — helping children learn, grow, and thrive through sustainable farming.
👉 Support the Fish Farming Project today.
Gardening Program — Growing Food, Growing Hope
At Casaupendo Orphanage, we believe in teaching children the value of hard work, responsibility, and sustainability. Through our Gardening Program, we are nurturing both the land and the hearts of orphaned and vulnerable children in Kenya, helping them learn how to grow their own food and care for God’s creation.
Casaupendo currently leases half an acre of land from a neighboring property, which we use for both fish farming and vegetable gardening.
The children and volunteers take turns pulling weeds, watering crops,
and maintaining the garden — creating a spirit of teamwork and joy in
every activity.
We are now seeking support to purchase seeds and essential farming supplies to grow nutritious crops such as vegetables, carrots, tomatoes, squash, sweet potatoes, and pumpkins. Our dream is to one day purchase this land so that we can plant long-term food crops and fruit trees, ensuring lasting food security for our children.
You can help us achieve this vision by donating toward seeds, insecticides, manure, or land acquisition. Every gift helps us grow healthy food and deeper hope for the future.
💛 When we plant together, we grow together — join us in cultivating love, faith, and nourishment at Casaupendo.
👉 Support the Gardening Program today.
Community Outreach Program — Teaching Compassion, Sharing God’s Love
At Casaupendo Orphanage, we believe that true transformation happens when love is shared beyond our walls. Our Community Outreach Program teaches orphaned and vulnerable children in Kenya the value of compassion, generosity, and service. Every child in our program has made a commitment to make a difference in their community and become a light to others.
Once every month, we organize community outreach sessions
where the children visit nearby villages to share what they have
learned and bless others in practical ways. During these visits, the
children distribute soap, clean water, homemade cookies, brownies, cupcakes, reusable sanitary towels, toothbrushes, and toothpaste-simple gifts that bring joy and dignity to families in need.
They also lead educational and faith-based sessions on topics such as hand hygiene, kindness, and the love of Jesus,
helping other children grow in both knowledge and faith. These
experiences not only bless the community but also nurture empathy,
leadership, and gratitude in our children.
You can be part of this powerful movement of compassion by donating soap, baking ingredients, or clean water for our outreach activities. Your support helps us teach children that even the smallest act of kindness can change lives.
💛 Together, we can raise children who love, give, and serve others with joy.
