Current Projects at Imani Orphan Care
Through Imani Orphan Care current projects fund, we are able to meet many needs that will help Imani Home of Love provide for some general necessities, and improvements to the home.
Please consider donating today. All donations received through the current projects page will go directly towards providing for the needs listed below at Imani Home of Love.
Imani Outreach Center
We are requesting your assistance in providing for our Outreach Center progam. We are currently caring for 31 children in need. Imani provides a weekend program for these kids at our Outreach Center as well as providing for their education through school fees, school uniforms, and school shoes. We also provide food items and hygiene items. If you would like to help us to continue our work at the Imani Outreach Center please give a donation for this purpose. We are so thankful for the difference that this Outreach Center is making. In our first year of operation we are already seeing the impact in this community. Thank you for your kind consideration.
Imani Home of Love Children’s Home Maintenance Fund
Just like we have to maintain our homes in Canada it is much the same for us at Imani in Kenya. We have many maintenance expenses… Some examples are cleaning our septic system, maintaining our property and buildings, broken cupboards and beds just to name a few. If you would like to be a part of giving a donation towards our maintenance fund please click the link below and all gifts will be combined to help us meet this urgent need.
Make a monthly donation
A monthly donation helps us to maintain the annual revenues necessary to continue our projects, and to facilitate project planning and ensure our long-term work.
Imani Chapel Maintenance Fund
Our church and church land also have maintenance needs. If you have a heart for this part of our ministry and you would like to help us meet our maintenance needs please click the link below. All gifts will be combined in order to help us meet this urgent need.
Not able to make it to the event?
Consider helping us in other ways.
Can I make a one-time donation?
Yes, there are many projects and daily needs within an orphanage that need immediate funding.
Can I write a cheque for an entire year of sponsorship?
Yes, in order to set this up please contact info@imaniorphancare.com. You are still able to choose a child or children that you would like to support for a year or you can have us choose a child for you.
Can I correspond with my child?
Yes, you are able to correspond by writing to your child/children. You can simply mail your letter to Imani Orphan Care and we will be sure that your letter reaches your sponsored child. There are also travel opportunities available to visit your sponsored child in Kenya. If this is of interest to you please contact us at info@imaniorphancare.com.
Can these children be adopted?
Adoption is a great way to help orphaned children however this process is not an easy one and it is not always a reliable one. It is hard to understand why adopting a child has to be such a long uncertain process. To understand this process better please contact your provincial adoption agency as they have the knowledge required to make this adoption process happen. Even if all of the world’s 163,000,000 orphaned children were able to be eligible for adoption there just are not enough people who want to adopt or who can afford the adoption process.
Thankfully we have the opportunity through sponsorship to give these children a better life and future. This is the best alternative that we presently have to help the orphaned children in the world.
Can $40/ month really provide what an orphaned child needs?
In developing countries, yes. The funds for child sponsorship go directly towards providing for shelter, food, clothing, education, spiritual instruction, and medical needs of the children in care through Imani.
Am I the only sponsor that my child has?
To completely cover the monthly costs associated with each child in care, a total of 4 sponsors per child is required for those living at Imani Home of Love. Only one sponsor per child is needed for children who are apart of Imani's Outreach program who are supported with education and hygiene/food needs so that they can remain living with their widowed moms.
What happens to my sponsored child after graduation from high school?
We work hard with each child to put together an education plan best suited to their needs. Imani Orphan Care’s goal is to have our kids reach their full potential becoming competent educated adults able to support themselves.
How much of my sponsorship goes to my child?
Your child will receive $40.00/month of your support.
How much of my monthly support goes to admin fees?
Imani Orphan Care admin fees are 0%. Imani covers admin fees through fundraising events and designated donations to cover these expenses.
Will I receive a tax receipt for my donation?
Yes, Imani Orphan Care Foundation is a registered Canadian Charity allowing us to issue tax receipts to Canadian donors.
