The Little Lambs Story
Hungry orphans at your doorstep. That’s what missionary Elaine Barnett was experiencing regularly in 1999. A drought had devastated the Kijabe area and the already poor were especially hard hit. Elaine worked with a local pastor to identify the neediest children. By early 2000, 35 orphans were welcomed into the first Little Lambs Center.
Today over 100 children receive a noon meal on weekdays, assistance with school fees, uniforms, shoes and basic medical care. Preschoo
lambs spend weekdays at the center getting a head start on their education and lots of hugs too.
We are in the process of partnering with Midwest Food Bank’s Kenya branch to provide meals on weekends too. This partnership makes nutritious meals possible for just 20 cents each.
