ByGrace children
Caring for children in Kenya since 2004

Every child deserves a home, an education, and hope.

ByGrace Trust gives orphaned and vulnerable children family-style care, quality schooling, and lifelong discipleship — so they grow into self-sustaining, purpose-filled adults.

Our mission

We didn't build an institution — we built a home.

When Stephen and Rosemary Mbogo took in their first child in 2004, they didn't model their work on an orphanage — they modelled it on a family. Children here are not case numbers. They are sons and daughters who eat together, learn together, and are known by name.

“By grace we are held, and by grace we hold others.”

Our story

A safe place to call home

From a single rented room to a thriving home on the Ngong–Suswa road, our journey has been carried by the prayers and gifts of people who believe every child deserves a family. Help us complete the next dormitory.

Our impact

Raised, not just rescued

Many of the children who once arrived frightened and alone now return as teachers, nurses and mentors. This is what restoration looks like — a full circle of grace.

What we do

More than just shelter.

We care for the whole child — mind, body and spirit — so every young person leaves us ready to thrive.

Education

Every child is enrolled in quality schooling and supported with books, uniforms and tutoring all the way to graduation.

Nutrition & health

Three balanced meals a day, regular checkups and on-site care keep our children strong and well.

Spiritual discipleship

Rooted in faith and love, our children grow in character, hope and a sense of belonging to something greater.

“They never treated us as a project. We were treated as their own children — and that is what changed me.”
Daniel O. · Class of 2013
“The day I was accepted into university, the whole home celebrated as one. That is when I knew I truly belonged.”

“Grace did not just give me a roof. It gave me a family, an education, and a faith I carry every day. I now sponsor a child here myself — because someone once did the same for me.”
