Global Challenge

Rohi Children's Homes in Nakuru, Kenya, a ministry of Cornerstone Fellowship, is blessed to be able to serve Christ by providing a safe place for children who live on the streets of Nakuru.

The Vision

Rohi Children's Homes provides a safe environment for orphaned, abandoned and destitute children.  Rohi (Yahweh Rohi “The Lord is my shepherd” Psalm 23:1), located just outside of Nakuru, a city of 800,000, is a place of shelter that provides food, clothing and education.  The children experience God’s love and provision in a tangible way, a stark difference from life on the streets.  Rohi provides children with a foundation.  A foundation made of love knowledge, grace and an opportunity to be part of God’s plan for a brighter future.

Come, you who are blessed by My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave me Drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me. 
Matthew 25:33b-36
