By sponsoring a child in Kenya, you will be giving an orphaned and vulnerable child the opportunity to live in the WYI Owiti Children's Home. Situated in the community of Nyamasaria, the Owiti Children's Home houses up to 50 orphaned children and provides a supportive environment for each child to grow and develop in all aspects of their lives. Here WYI provides care, professional training (trade skills) and a solid education to ensure that each child can build a great foundation for the rest of their lives. Your sponsorship will not only give a child access to basic life essentials such as regular meals, water, healthcare and education, but it will give them something irreplaceable... hope! WYI believes that the best way to bring about a change in a child's life is through education and assisting in building a self-sufficient and sustainable environment. Local WYI staff are continuously meeting and working with community leaders in the implementation and successful running of all projects associated with the Owiti Children's Home. Child sponsorship is not just a financial contribution; it gives children love, hope and happiness.

How sponsorship works Ultimately, children receive a better life as a result of your sponsorship! The sponsored child is selected by members of WYI overseas staff and the community, in accordance with our established selection criteria. Sponsorship is transferred to the WYI Kenyan Board where it is then used to support the development of the child by providing them with a healthy and safe living environment. It is ensured that the child receives regular meals, clean water and access to adequate medical facilities and school supplies. Sponsorship fees: WYI Owiti Children's Home Kenya: $1700 for full sponsorship, and $425 for part sponsorship. Your contribution will cover all of the child's needs for a full 12 months. PLEASE NOTE: As the child sponsorship program at Owiti is administered by volunteers, no administration fees apply. This ensures that 100% of the funds you donate go directly towards supporting your sponsored child. Payments are also fully tax deductible! Your sponsorship fee includes: - a photo and details of your sponsored child
- regular letters/drawings from the child
- newsletters and updates on our organisation
In return we ask that you supply a family photo, fill out a personal details form and write a short letter to the child. Where possible, we ask that you sponsor the child for the duration of the project but if hardship prevails and you are unable to continue, we will endeavour to find an alternate sponsor.
