Our new Admissions


Tom and Cecilia

Tom and Cecilia are twins and are one year, eight months old. These babies were left by their mother in someone's house on 3rd December where she claimed to have gone to the nearby shop to buy something and she didnt turn up. The case was reported to the police and the children were later taken to the hospital since they were suffering from severe malnutrition. According to the records, the mother was found and she is a single orphan girl. She has been interviewed by the children's officer who recommended that they be placed at HLCH for 6 months so that the mother can be monitored to see if she is in a position to raise them. After 6 months, the children can be reunited with her or the children's office will advice accordingly.


Meshack
Meshack was born on 15th July 2011 and the mother later absconded leaving the baby behind at the new born unit where he was undergoing treatment. The child has been placed at HLCH since no one has ever come to claim him.

Its, Josh's turn




Joshua is 5 1/2 years; in pre-unit class. This day, it was all smiles for Joshua having been blessed with a new mama and it was time to leave. It was very easy for him to bond with the new mother and since the first day, he was very excited. We are happy for him but we already miss him a lot.

Unless the Lord builds the house (ministry) the builders (The Happy Life Family) labor in vain.

Unless the Lord watches over the city (ministry) , the watchmen (The Happy Life Family) stand guard in vain. Psalm 127:1

The Kenyan and US Boards thank you for working together with us to provide a home and a hope for adoption for the abandoned children of Kenya.

Ephie(Papa) and Mayana have new families


Mayana and her Mother, What a joy!


Ephie (Papa) and his parents - They really look alike!

When Ephie's adoptive parents came to identify their child, they wanted a boy between 6 months and one year old. We had informed the adoption agency that the boy we had of that age did not have one document which would take one or two months. After negotiating with the adoption agency, they requested if we would show them a 1 1/2 years old child although they were not sure since they wanted a child less than one year old. When I took them to see Ephie, and I told them his name, they laughed a lot and I thought, what could be the problem? I tried to ask them but they could not stop laughing. Ephie is not a common name in Kenya and so I thought, may be they find the name funny. When they later came to the office they told me that the reason why they were laughing so is because they had decided that their adoptive son will be called Ephie, the short form of Ephraim and they were amazed! Isn't God amazing? they said. So our son has been here all along.
