About Us
''MAKE A CHILD SMILE''. is our moto.
Reverend Michelle Warren started this Charity in 2004. Here at Lighthouse of God Ministries, Michelle has a passion to help orphans and street children.
We help keep children alive and to give a child a better sustained life.
We support a Shanty Primary School
called St Stephens Centre in Kibera Slum where we have 600 orphans /needy children aged 2 to 14 and have just started our latest project to raise funds to open a secondary school with science lab for children 14 to 16 year old's next to the Primary School.
This School is run by Agelina Mutio Nduta in Kibera Slum, Nairobi, Kenya.
We have worked with Agelina now for 20 years.
The money we raise helps feed the children and pay teachers at the school.
We also provide medicine and pay hospital fees if a child is sick.
Books and stationary to are given and help for the guardians who take on an orphan.
Our long term goal is to buy land to build a boarding Schools away from the slums, with children's homes and land to build workshops and land to grow crops etc, so it can be self sustaining.
Please see below
KIBERA SLUM
Nairobi, Kenya
Kibera is possibly the largest slum in Africa.
Gangs runs this slum. People have to pay to live in a shack.
Children living on the Street are very vulnerable due to criminal sex trade, drug runs, witchcraft killing rituals. Children can be kidnaped, (dislocated they call it. killed for their organs, and more).
We take the children of the street with permission and then get guardian to look after them and get them into School too a place of safety.

EDUCATION
Every child should have the right to learn how to read and write and learn for their future.
At St Stephens they are a self help school so children can attend without uniform and shoes.
All our teachers live in Kibera Slum so they understand the hardships children face day to day.
SPONSOR A CHILD £10 a month. £2.00 out of the £10 goes towards paying wages for our teachers, to educate a slum orphan/child
FOOD
If you sponsor a child £8 goes to providing an orphan/needy child porridge for breakfast. This is made of maize flour and this is keeping children alive. Any other funds raised by our Charity Shop, collection tins, online etc helps children get lunch. (rice beans fruit, and milk.)
Michelle's goal is to get all 600 children sponsored. so far we have 225 children sponsored.
The more children we can feed the happier and healthier the children will be.
Join us in making a difference. The time is now. thankyou.
Clean drinking water
Thanks to sponsors help we have got clean drinking water into the school through piping. The children can now wash their hands now too before eating etc. and clean water to cook with.
Before families and children had to drink soiled polluted water from the steam which is also full of rubbish. they also wash their clothes in this water if they cannot afford to buy clean water.
ENVIRONMENT
There is no clean running water in Kibera. you cant get through to dig wells as it is back to back shack. No room to get machinery through.
It has a stream running through it which contains raw sewage and rubbish and parasites, Dysentery and other Diseases.
Families also do their washing with this water.
We take it for granted here in the UK. We get up and use a toilet, brush our teeth, wash/shower. bath.
They have no running water no toilet so they have to go out side their home in front of everyone where their is no dignity. no hope.
CONDITIONS
When things get tough, families end up living in Slums.
Its back to back shacks made of corrugated iron and a mud floor. no running water, no food, no toilets no nothing. These shacks are peoples homes. Most children and families sleep on potato sacks. (We would not even put a pig in those conditions ), and they have to pay rent for them!
Any donation can save a life! thankyou
