BACKGROUND

Christ Chapel Children’s Home (CCCH) is a holistic child development institution an organization or institution , a non profit making initiated in 2002 established and officialy registered with the ministry of Gender Sports, Culture and Social Services in 2004. Christ Chapel Children’s Home is based in Huruma slums on the outskirts of Nairobi.

Christ Chapel Children’s Home is focusing on the holistic development of Orphans and Vulnerable Children (O.V.Cs) within Nairobi Central Division with future plans to extend the same services to other areas God giving us the grace and provision for the same.

The Home is situated in Huruma Slum, which is one of the most over populated and poverty stricken estates.

The initiation and establishment of Christ Chapel Children’s Home came as a result of thorough survey and prayers by Gloria Ndunge who God gave the burden of preaching Gospel among the slum dwellers of Huruma.

In the process of preaching the word she came to the realization that as much as the people were receiving the gospel, the community needed material support.

Abject poverty among the slum, dwellers of Huruma has resulted into the commercial sex girl-child prostitution and labour, teenage pregnancy and single motherhood.

HIV/AIDS has also claimed the lives of the majority of young parents living behind a high number of orphans and vulnerable children, some of whom have ended up in the streets.

Due to the above and many other unmentioned factors, Christ Chapel Children’s Home was born.
