We provide a home for children who have lost almost everything.
Who we are
Our name is Eating Stone. We are a registered, self-sufficient Kenyan children’s home in Nairobi. We serve 85 orphans, offering them a safe place to live, enough to eat, a school and a family.
Our Story in numbers
What Your Support Does
Registered Kenyan NGO, since 2015. Every Euro goes directly to the children.
Every Child Eats
Nearly four fifths of everything we spend goes straight to the table. Two Euros mean a child eats for a full day.
A Place to Belong
A safe place to sleep, and a family who gives love, guidance and security.
A Life of their own
School fees, training, and a path toward an independent life. Seventy-five Euros a month carry one child completely.
