Hope for Abandoned Babies of Kenya

The New Life Home in Nairobi, Kenya, stands as a beacon of hope in the midst of this painful disaster. The Home's mission is to care for abandoned and orphaned babies and nurture them into normal, healthy children. The Home provides compassionate care and strives to meet the spiritual and emotional needs of the infants as well. Countless stories of the miraculous recoveries of these children are testimony to the care and effort put into these young lives by the staff at the New Life Home. Some of these stories have been summarized below to show the impact the home is having despite the desperate poverty and hurt all around.
New Life Home was established in 1994 by Clive and Mary Beckenham as they saw the overwhelming need to find a safe and nurturing home for the masses of abandonded babies throughout Kenya. Often the babies would end up in state hospitals with little care and little hope of making it to their first birthday. Once open, NLH quickly filled all its beds; many babies needed drastic surgery or care. The Beckenhams also testify that it was only by the prayers of supporters and the grace of God that many of the babies survived. Once healthy, the adoption process begins and the children, now toddlers, are taken to loving homes in Kenya and all over the world.
New Life Home (NLH) has grown rapidly since its inception. Larger facilities were purchased and the Home was relocated. This move allowed the Home to care for more children but still maintain the unique feature of being "homey." These facilities also have allowed the Beckenhams and their staff to extend their medical facilities and provide special care for the terminally ill. In 2009, the New Life Home has already admitted 16 new babies and is currently providing ongoing care for over 40 children. This year three children have found permanent homes with loving families.

and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me.
For he who is least among you all-he is the greatest." Luke 9:48

 New Life Home welcomed baby Precious, a sweet little baby who was found abandoned in a pit latrine before she rescued and brought to the home. Precious is now healthy and fitting right in to her new surroundings with plenty of brothers and sisters to play with. She is dressed in pink for her first picture.
God clearly has a plan for this young child. Join Mission of Mercy and the body of Christ in affirming our support to her health and development!
