Story & Mission

 

Since 1985 the Wamba Catholic Hospital, with the support of the Huruma Sisters from India built The Huruma Home,
a special space for the mentally and physically challenged children, who wouldn’t survive in the bush.

For the Samburu people having a disabled child is a curse. The children are taken to the Huruma Home and once admitted they are forever abandoned there, with no visits and no financial support.

​

The Home counts 40 children and adults, the older person is a lady of 39 years-old, the young just a few months. 
There are currently 3 Huruma Sisters and 8 Samburu ladies who are caring for these children and adults.

​

The Calleri ECDC welcome these children in class in order to entertain them and sensitise the rest of the school to play and share school seats with different children.

​

In 2019 we were able to donate a new washing machine to the Huruma Home, as the washing was done all by hand.
