Habima was born pre-term on 20^th October 2010 at Thika District Hospital with a birth weight of 1.7 kgs. He was later abandoned by the mother on 3^rd November and has been at the hospital for 1 ½ months. He was admitted at HLCH on 21^st January since he has gained some weight to 2 kgs.

Christmas at Happylife Children's Home 2010

Happy Life re-unites children with their parents!

From the very beginnings of Happy Life it was our vision to:
"To provide the abandoned children of Kenya with a Home and a Hope for Adoption!"

The Lord has been pleased to give us the "Fruit of our Vision".

• 23 Children adopted
• 60 Children in the process of adoption (All by Kenya Parents!)

Occasionally Happy Life has the privilege to provide a "temporary home" for the children whose parent(s) are experiencing a difficult time in their lives. Since 2002, 9 children have been re-united with their parent(s).

Samuel and Faith are now in the process of being re-united with their parents(s):



Samuel was abandoned by his mother, who herself was an orphan, and left Samuel with her sister in September of 2007. The sister could not take care of him for a long time since she was a small girl attending primary school. Samuel's mother was traced and efforts are being made to soon re-unite him with his mother! Praise the Lord!



















Faith was recently taken to a police station by a lady who felt that Faith was in danger. She is currently part of the Happy Life Family. On admission she looked sickly and quite malnourished, quiet and scared. Efforts are currently in process to enable Faith to be re-united with her mother.
Praise the Lord!








We thank the Lord that He is using Happy Life to bring children and their parents back together again as a family!

Baby Joy has a New Mama

Joy was was admitted at HLCH on 19th October 2009. Three weeks after admission, we noted that she had poor feeding and some chest infection. She was then put on antibiotics for one week without improvement. Later she was admitted at the hospital where she was put on oxygen for 1 ½ months in an intensive care. The doctors said her lungs had been badly infected and her hope of survival was minimal. By the grace of God, Joy miraculously recovered. Now Joy has a new mother! Her adoptive mother is very excited that she finally got her beautiful daughter. As we said a prayer of blessing to Joy, her adoptive Mum was overwhelmed with Joy and tears freely flowed from her eyes seeing what God had done to her blessing her with this beautiful girl. Although we were very happy for Joy parting with her was a very hard for us. Everyone got very emotional as we said the prayer. Her Mothers words were, "only God can bless you for what you have done." Seeing where Joy has come from and who she is now and what God has done for her fulfills our heart. We cannot even see the challenges we went through when She was very sick. God bless Joy. Its only one day and we already miss her.
