Rianna’s Furaha Childrens Home has been open since October 2005. The
home is situated in Yala, Kenya which is aprox. 60km north of Kisumu, nr
Lake Victoria.

There are currently
42 children living at the Home, 20 boys and 22 girls. They range in age
from the youngest, Cedric who is 3 and a half years old to the oldest,
James who is 11 years.
Fourteen of the children staying at the Home attend the local
Yala
Township Primary School The school is a few minutes walk from the Home
and caters for around 1,100 pupils. The younger children staying at
Rianna’s go to a small Nursery School on the same site as the Children's
Home.

In November 2006 there was an official
opening of the Childrens Home and over 500 people attended the event,
almost half of these being children from local schools, scouts and other children's
organisations.
The children are really well looked
after by a team of 14 staff including Eunice Aweyo the Project Director
and Edward Wata the Project Manager. The children have a good diet
and are very well cared for by all the staff at the Home.
