Arms of Love

(add photos of home and children)

Leigh Ross, a Missionary, started Arms of Love in May 2003. This is a children's home for abandoned and babies orphans where they will live until they have completed University or been adopted. Volunteers are very welcome at this home and their are furnished flats near the home that volunteers could rent out while volunteering.

At the time of our visit in July 2003 Arms of Love had 5 children  with 1 more on the way. All the little ones were about 9 months old, except for Joel who was 14 months old. The little boy they were expecting the following day would be a little 2 week old baby. Arms of Love is open to international adoptions. However, Adoptive families will need to stay in Kenya for 3-6 months to bond with the baby and complete the adoption process. If you are interested in learning more about these children please contact Leigh Ross at Arms of Love at leighross@nbi.ispkenya.com .
