Furaha!
If you have been around HCO for awhile, you will remember our single mothers sewing project, Furaha. About five or so years ago, we started a project of training single moms with an income generating skill that they could use to provide for their families. After learning to sew, they would participate in making some […]
A special home visit
One of our favorite things we do is visiting the homes of some of our babies who have been adopted or fostered. Some families keep in contact and allow us to continue to be a part of their lives. We have partnerships with some families that keep us connected, where we work with them on […]
A long awaited full family
This forever family has been in waiting to officially become family for a very long time! Little Hope and her Auntie Emily have had a special bond since she was an infant. Since Auntie Emily lives just around the corner from the baby house, it was easy for Emily to take her home to spend […]
Reunited, and it feels so good!
Finally, after such a long, long time, we got to send a sweet boy home with his mama! Mama Jaden left Jaden with us two years ago when the children’s home she grew up in requested for us to help her. She was in high school when Jaden was born and they wanted to help […]

We made it back and are settling in well. We had safe travels and even enjoyed a day in Washington, DC as our flights changed last minute. It was our first time flying internationally since Covid and we were surprised at how empty and eerie everything felt in the airports in America. Traveling with face […]
Finally…Kenya Bound!
The time has finally come for our family to return to Kenya! We had hoped to spend a lot of time traveling and sharing the ministry with people, visiting our supporters and delivering lots of personal thank-yous. This year didn’t turn out like any of us expected, did it? We are so grateful for the […]
Keeping Your Eye on the Prize
“Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:13b-14) We are still in America. We do love America. But we love Kenya too, and we miss it terribly. It is home. It is […]
Good Things Along the Way
I think that sometimes we forget that following God’s will may not always be easy. We may know, in theory, that it won’t be easy, that there may be hardships and struggles, but when when it comes down to it, we kind of forget that part. We somehow, maybe just subconsciously, expect that if we […]
