A Home Built on Compassion. A Future Shaped by Hope.
In the heart of Kisii and Kiambu, Haven of Rest Orphanage & Youth Center stands as a sanctuary of care — once known as the Armani (Peace) Orphanage. Founded in April 2012 by Apostle Peace Amba, it began with one simple act of compassion: seeing children eager to learn in mud classrooms without desks, chairs, or books — yet filled with joy and determination.
What started with a few gifts of food, clothing, and school supplies has grown into a home for more than 500 children, each carrying a story of resilience and hope.
When crisis struck — from the Ebola outbreak to the global pandemic — our mission deepened.
Amid fear, loss, and uncertainty, we became a refuge of love and safety. We taught not only academics but the dignity of hygiene, ensuring that every child could learn and live in health.
Today, our outreach extends far beyond our walls — into the villages of Kisii and Kiambu, reaching orphans, widows, and families in need.
The vision continues to grow.
And we will not rest — until every child has a place to call home.
