Who We Are
Walindwa Charitable Corporation exists to protect, nurture, and empower vulnerable children in Kenya.
Our name, Walindwa, means “protect and guard” in Swahili — and that is exactly what we are called to do.
We demonstrate God’s love in practical ways through:
-- Education
-- Food and shelter
-- Healthy living
-- Christian discipleship
-- Long-term mentoring and support
Our goal is not simply to meet immediate needs, but to equip children and young adults to become self-sufficient, responsible, and faith-filled members of Kenyan society.
Where We Serve
Walindwa supports at-risk children in Kenya’s Rift Valley Province, Nakuru District, primarily through our partnership with:
-- Elma Barnett Children's Centre Kamonong (EBCCK)
-- Elma Kamonong High School (EKHS)
What We Do
At EBCCK, children from non-functioning or nonexistent families — often coming from extreme poverty or the streets — receive:
-- Safe housing
-- Nutritious meals
-- Academic education
-- Academic education
-- Spiritual formation
-- Emotional support
Care does not stop at high school. Walindwa continues supporting students through university, college, or trade school, helping them launch into meaningful careers and independent adulthood.
Building a Legacy of Giving Back
Children who grow up in the Elma family are encouraged to become leaders of integrity. As they graduate and begin their careers, they are expected to “give back” — mentoring younger students and serving as role models for the next generation.
This cycle of care, discipleship, and leadership creates lasting impact that extends far beyond one child.
Our Partnership
The Walindwa Board of Directors in the United States works closely with the EBCCK Board in Kenya to ensure faithful stewardship, accountability, and coordinated support.
Together, we protect.
Together, we nurture.
Together, we build hope for the future.
Children of the Rift Valley Province in Kenya are raised to reach their full potential in a supportive environment of love, health, and education anchored in the teachings of Christ.
The mission of Walindwa Charitable Corporation is to model God’s love and compassion by working to improve the quality of life of the children of the Rift Valley Province of Kenya, particularly those at Elma Barnett Children’s Centre Kamonong. Walindwa raises funds, donates goods, and volunteers our services in partnership with Kenyan organizations to effect improvements in the essentials of daily life, in education, and in healthy living practices, thereby bringing hope to these children and their families. Our actions empower children and youth to become adults with integrity and Christian values; adults who are self-sufficient, responsible members and leaders of Kenyan society. In the Swahili language, “Walindwa” means “the ones who are guarded or protected.”
