How HOREC began
Christine Wambui founded Hope for Orphans Rescue Centre in 2005. She began by giving ARVs and food aid to people living with HIV/AIDS in Nairobi’s slums.
She saw that their children were neglected and could not get government support. So she opened her own home to them and closed her beauty salon to care for the children full time.
Today HOREC is a registered Charitable Children’s Institution on two acres in Mutalia, Kangundo Constituency, Machakos County, about 60 km east of Nairobi.
