Tumaini Children’s Ministry | December 2025

The staff and board at Tumaini Children’s Ministry have continued to provide loving care and support for vulnerable children in Kenya’s Central Highlands during a season of transition.

In 2022, Tumaini began re-integrating children with relatives or guardians in compliance with government mandates. As of August 2025, most children have successfully returned to family care. Tumaini continues to provide school fees and uniforms; food supplements for families; and regular visits from social workers and a chaplain to ensure children are thriving. University students from Tumaini also receive tuition assistance.

A small number of true orphans – 11 children and disabled adults – still reside at the Huruma Facility, which provides specialized care. Huruma will likely continue to house residents in the future. This summer, Huruma received upgrades to its water system and bathroom facilities, improving residents' daily lives.

In a new partnership, Tumaini is now renting out some of its buildings to Outspan Hospital, providing housing and teaching space for nursing students. As part of the agreement, Outspan funded a sewage system upgrade on the Tumaini campus. In addition to the above support, Tumaini continues to provide ongoing programs for children, including the Tumaini Runners Program, which remains vibrant. It has many children training for and competing in half and full marathons across Kenya. Running continues to build resilience, discipline, and self-confidence. 

The year of transition will conclude with a joyous Christmas celebration, as all children return to the Tumaini campus to share a festive meal together.
