Flying Kites provides high quality residential care to some of Kenya’s most desperate orphaned and abused children. We believe that in order for children to have a chance to impact this world significantly, the care provided to them must be exemplary. The site of our Children’s Home and Leadership Academy is in Kinangop, Kenya, a 90-minute drive from Nairobi. The Flying Kites Leadership Academy occupies 5 acres of land in the foothills of the Aberdares Mountain Range and leases 3 acres of additional land for housing and farming.
Flying Kites was started when a little boy living in an overcrowded orphanage in the slums of Nairobi challenged a small group of volunteers to see him as a child, and not as an orphan. Orphans need bowls of rice. Children need families, people to invest in the quality of their education and the possibility of their dreams. They need nourishment and inspiration and adventure and security; they need to be shown that the world cares about who they are and who they will become.
At Flying Kites, we believe in children. And so, in the Aberdares Mountains of Kenya, we have built a Home and Leadership Academy for orphaned children who would otherwise have nowhere to turn. Through our emphasis on exemplary care, education, and compassion, children who have suffered the devastating effects of poverty are being empowered to change our world.
Believe with us.
