Dacoretti Children's Centre

This is the oldest children's home in Kenya. The home cares for children with special need as well as children that have aged out of the ABC Children's Home next door. The Centre has a school on grounds which is attended also by children in the community. There is also a farm on the grounds, as well as a Occupational and Physical Therapy department to assist the children with special needs.
