Our Mission and Model

Hamomi Children's Centre is a primary school whose mission is to improve the lives of orphaned and vulnerable children in the slums of Nairobi.  We develop adults with the skills necessary to improve their social and economic condition, by providing education and access to basic needs in a safe and nurturing environment.

Hamomi, (Hah-moh-mee) is a sponsored project of the 501c.3. nonprofit organization Lift Up Africa, allowing donors to make tax-deductible donations.

Raphael Etenyi founded Hamomi in 1999 when he took 7 street-kids under his wing. Today, he is a beacon in his community. The model he began 11 years ago is the backbone of Hamomi, which manages over 100 children.
