TLC Children's Trust Welcome
Thank you for your interest in the work of T.L.C. Children’s Trust.
We have only put some very basic details on this page. You can easily find full information by going to the various pages listed in the menu at the top of the page.
Our registered reason for existing is stated as:
“The charity’s objects are to relieve the needs of orphans and other underprivileged children and young people in Kenya in particular but not exclusively by the provision of funds for food, clothing, accommodation, education and medical care”.
TLC Children’s Trust provides for 56 children at the Home of Peace Children’s Home in Kenya.
The Home of Peace Children’s Home is registered with the Kenyan Government and subject to regular inspections by the Dept. of Children’s Services. The children are placed with us by the Children’s Court who also review their committal on a regular basis.
Without our support, these children would be left to live on the streets and many would no doubt die. We provide them with accommodation, food, education, clothing, medical care and the attention of our staff who have a real desire to do their best for these children.
No money is held back for our administrative costs.
100% of gifts received goes to the Children’s Home. Our Trustees personally cover the overheads.
Home of Peace Children’s Home is located in a rural area of Kenya and provides accommodation, food, clothing, medical care and education for vulnerable children and orphans.
Home of Peace Children’s Home is registered by the Dept. of Children’s Services of Kenya and it is run under the direct supervision of T.L.C. Children’s Trust who monitor everything very closely.
We maintain daily contact with the home and are able to verify where every penny is spent.
Get Involved.
Without our support, these children would be left to live on the streets and many would no doubt die. We provide them with accommodation, food, education, clothing, medical care and the attention of our staff who have a real desire to do their best for these children.

All the children at Home of Peace need to be checked and recommitted to our care on a regular basis by the Children's Court.
We have just received confirmation of the committal of them all. We are licensed to have 56 children. The committal is for 55 as the one not included will be leaving us next month when she turns 18 so she was not recommitted. Once she is gone they will no doubt send us someone else. www.TLC-Childrenstrust.org

KENYA ELECTION SITUATION UPDATE Note we are located near Kisumu. You can see our location on our website. www.tlc-childrenstrust.org. The following is from BBC News today. The US embassy in Kenya has warned American citizens against travel to the lakeside city of Kisumu ahead of next week’s general election. In a security alert, the embassy says election-related demonstrations may occur in the western city, and in some instances may turn violent. "Election-related demonstrations and rallies regularly take place in the run-up to the election and are likely to continue, at times blocking key intersections and causing traffic jams," it said.

Sadly Kenya has a history of violence at the times of, and after, a general election. In the past many have been killed.
The next election is next week on the 9th.
Today all schools were ordered to close until further notice.
Please pray for our children and staff at Home of Peace and that this election will not be marked by violence.

A short update 15/07/2022NewsComments: 0 15th July 2022 Hi, Your prayers would be greatly appreciated. As you will know prices are increasing rapidly everywhere but Kenya has been hit very hard and we have had to revise our monthly budget to cover the increase in the cost of the following essentials...

Erick, our purchasing manager, has been grocery shopping again. It may seem a lot of food but remember we need to provide about 7,000 meals a month.

PRAYER APPRECIATED We are responsible for supplying all the funds for running the Home of Peace Children’s Home in Kenya. A big part of this is the cost of food as we supply about 7,000 meals a month. Food Prices have gone crazy. See chart below. Average cost of food has increased by 44% in the past 4 months. Just one example. Maize is a staple of the Kenyan diet. 6 months ago, we could supply 6 sacks of maize flour for 33,000 KES it now costs 54,000 KES 33,000 KES at the exchange rate 6 months ago was £221

I am not a financial expert but our charity receives money from wonderful supporters all over the world and then we send it to Home of Peace in Kenya to provide what is needed for food, medical care, education, staff, clothing, etc
In the past couple of days the exchange rate has dropped badly so when we send to Kenya it costs more. At the same time inflation in Kenya means everything costs more. Not good.
Today we received an email about this from a large Financial dealer. See below.
Prayers would be appreciated
