Hekima Place is a nationally recognized home for orphaned and vulnerable Kenyan girls located in Kiserian, Kajiado County just outside Nairobi. The organization was established in 2005 as a 501(c)3 non-profit in the United States, followed by registration as a Kenyan trust later in 2005. The United States Board of Directors is responsible for funding and strategic planning, with the Kenyan board of trustees providing operational oversight. The Hekima Place family has grown from 10 girls living in rented space near Nairobi, to nearly 90 girls today ranging in age from infants to university students. The Hekima Place family also includes 25 dedicated Kenyan house mothers and staff members, as well as volunteers who visit and assist in our work. We strive to provide a safe, loving, and family-like home, where each girl is able to thrive and grow toward her full potential as an independent, successful, and engaged member of Kenyan society.
