Currently The St Jerome’s Centre runs a children’s home in Nakuru, Kenya. In 2024 we provided full time care, accommodation, food, healthcare, welfare and nursery/primary schooling costs for 24 children. We have also been supporting 11 additional children in secondary education, providing full secondary school fees and some support with accommodation and living costs. We also have been supporting 8 young people in college, having chosen a vocational course instead of formal secondary education. In 2024, The St Jerome’s centre continued to develop community outreach projects, including a local feeding programme, and supported a further 33 children. In order to run this facility, we employ local Kenyan staff to take care of the day to day running – in doing this we are also providing a living wage for those staff. Throughout 2024 we have been employing 7 Kenyan staff.
