Mr. Edwin K. Muchiri came up with a thought to start an orphan home to help the motherless or fatherless children in the Lari sub-county area. Motivated by a Bible verse proverbs 19:7 “He who is generous to the poor, tends to the lord and the lord will reward him for his deed.“ he started with the spirit to help the ‘gifts of God’ who are unprivileged to be able to have normal standard living.

The local society gave them the chance to cater for the children. They did help Mr. and Mrs. Edwin to spot the needy children for them to come and take refuge as one family in the newly renovated place to fit as a home for the children. The home has been named after his first name Edwin.
