Long-Term Volunteering in Kenya
Toto Angel Center
Toto Angel Center was founded in 2013. It is currently supporting 30 children between 3 – 12 years from a variety of backgrounds. The situation in Kayole Estate where the center is located is characterized by a high poverty rate, low education and marginalization of the community.
Project Profile
Many vulnerable children are neglected and abandoned by their caregivers. Toto angel Center provides a safe place where children can spend the day, get a warm meal, basic education and play. It currently supports 30 children aged between 3 and 12 years from different backgrounds. 22 children are currently enrolled in the center's pre-school group and another 8 are supported in local primary schools with books, tuition, and lunch.
