Empower 2,500 Kenyan Children Through Art

Report on Visit to New Life Philadelfia Children’s Home, Nakuru

On Saturday 13th, our team had the privilege of visiting New Life Philadelfia Children’s Home in Langa Langa, Nakuru. The home currently shelters and supports 130 children, all of whom radiate joy, happiness, and love despite the challenges they face.

Being our first visit, we were warmly welcomed by both the staff and children. The day was filled with meaningful interactions, starting with drawing and coloring sessions that gave the children a chance to express their creativity. We also held a talk on drug abuse awareness, which sparked an engaging discussion with the children and staff.

Our presence was not only appreciated but also impactful. Through open conversations, we were able to share encouragement and support, helping the children and staff reflect on ways of coping with challenges such as stress.

Though our time at the home was short, the experience left a deep impact on both sides. For us, it was a reminder of the importance of community, compassion, and creating safe spaces for children. For the home, it was a chance to feel supported, heard, and cared for.

This visit was both wholesome and inspiring, and we look forward to building a lasting relationship with New Life Philadelfia Children’s Home to continue making a positive difference.

On 10^th May 20, 2025, we visited the Children’s Village Home with the aim of spending time with the children, engaging them in fun and interactive activities, and creating a memorable experience for everyone involved. The visit was part of our ongoing efforts to support and uplift children through meaningful interactions.

Activities

The day was filled with laughter, energy, and a strong sense of community. We organized a variety of activities to ensure every child could participate and enjoy the moment. Key highlights included:

• Karate Demonstrations and Matches:
  The children showcased impressive karate skills, some performing basic katas while others engaged in friendly sparring. It was inspiring to see their confidence and discipline in action.
• Dance Battles:
  One of the most entertaining parts of the day was the dance battles. The kids formed small groups and competed in lively and creative dance-offs. Their enthusiasm and talent were truly heartwarming, and the energy during these battles was electric.

Our visit to the Children’s Village Home was a heartwarming and rewarding experience. Through fun activities like karate and dance battles, we were able to connect with the children and bring smiles to their faces. We are grateful for the opportunity and look forward to more visits in the future to continue building these meaningful relationships.

We have created an art space that serves as a vibrant hub for a wide range of creative activities, including art and craft workshops focused on music, drawing, painting, dance, and crocheting.

This space is designed to nurture talent, encourage self-expression, and foster a sense of community among participants. In April, we successfully hosted an art event — a canvas painting session — and we are excited to continue organizing similar activities in the future. Beyond providing fun and meaningful interaction, the art space also plays a critical role in fundraising efforts and offers a safe, supportive environment where children can explore and grow their creative abilities.
