Eusebia Hope offers a home, education, and unconditional help to abandoned and orphaned children in Kenya.

Please join us this coming weekend 24th October 

The Eusebia Hope Foundation (EHF) is a small charity set up in Woldingham, Surrey to fund children living in the Meru region of Kenya who have been orphaned or abandoned, very often through HIV/Aids. It finances the operation of the Eusebia Hope Centre (EHC) in Igoji, Meru. The Centre continues to look after 50 abandoned or orphaned children, providing them with a safe home, healthcare and education.

Christine Black Nyaga founded the charity, inspired by the work of her mother, the late Eusebia Karega. Moved by the suffering children experienced on a daily basis, sleeping rough on the streets and having to beg for food, she set up a small centre where these children could go and have a meal at least once a day, in partnership with local people who volunteered to go and help with the cooking and feeding of the children. Operating informally since 2015, the charity was registered with the Charities Commission in 2017 and is in its 9th year of operation.

The Eusebia Hope Foundation (EHF) is a UK charity supporting this provision of unconditional help for children.  It is run by a group of people, who share Eusebia’s belief in the African proverb: ‘It takes a whole village to raise a child’.

In June 2025 we completed our most ambitious construction project yet, the new dormitory building. Thank you to everyone who raised money and donated to make this happen!!

Since the charity was founded, generous donations have funded a kitchen and laundry block, a dining room, a classroom, sanitation block and dormitories.  Now we believe all the major construction work is complete!  To find out more, click here.
