In Step Children’s Home is located on 20 acres of land in the Cherangani Hills of Kenya. Our 5600 sq.ft. building is filled with the laughter of children.  Our goal is to show these children that they are loved and valued by all who work and visit here.  These children will grow up as one family with no tribalism or prejudice.

Our children will be educated, some will go on to college, while others will go to trade school. We are building hope for the next generation. Who knows how many doctors, dentists, attorneys, scientists, pastors and school teachers call our place home! Their futures are unlimited. Hopefully, some will stay and work with us, others will be here for a lifetime because of their handicaps. Our children are loved, well fed, clothed, educated and their medical needs taken care of.

All of our children have very sad stories about their lives and how they came to our home. To read their stories click here,  children. Some are orphaned, their parents have died from AIDS, malaria, typhoid, cancer, accidents and other things. Many were sent to live with relatives where they were beaten, tortured or abused. Others were abandoned, left wrapped in a blanket or on a pile of rags by the side of the road,  in the forest, a field, or an abandoned hut. They were the fortunate ones that were found and brought to the children’s authorities. We have heard horror stories of babies found torn apart by dogs or found dead after being dumped. We are so thankful that these little ones know now they are loved.  Some will carry the physical scars the rest of their lives, but we pray that the emotional ones will be healed.

Jeff and Carla are full-time missionaries on staff in Kenya. Ron and Joyce run the home office and do fundraising. They travel twice a year to Kenya to help out at the home. There are 34 Kenyan employees, mostly widows and single moms. We have a wonderful staff that truly love our children. We are one of the largest employers in the area.

2011, interview with Jeff Picicci.

The villagers call our compound “The Land that God has Blessed” because we have pure, clean running water. We give away FREE water from 8 a.m. to noon.  We grow most of our vegetables and have an orchard that should start producing in the next year. We have the best bananas you have ever tasted. Now let me show you around.. Oh, if it’s raining take off your shoes.
