One hundred and thirty nine children call the Rehema Orphanage in Kenya home. This is another place we are planning to visit when we shoot "more 4 me".
It is located in Nandolia Village near Bungoma, in the Western Province. Rehema means "mercy" in Swahili.
It was founded in 2000 by the members of Bukholi Baptist Church under Mission Link Ministries of Kenya, led by Reverend Edwin Wanyama. The orphanage moved to the present 6 acre site in 2003.
These children either have no parents or one deceased parent and the remaining parent cannot afford to feed them. This situation is mainly the result of the AIDS pandemic and other diseases which take the lives of the parents.
