The Elma Barnett Children’s Centre supports vulnerable children in the Rift Valley Province of Kenya. Children of primary school age and above who are orphaned or from non-functioning families are provided physical, emotional, and spiritual care through their highest level of education (high school, trade school, college).

"Walindwa" means "The ones who are guarded or protected" in the Swahili language. Walindwa works to provide protection and nurturing to vulnerable children in the Rift Valley Province or Kenya through our partnership with the Elma Barnett Children's Centre Kamonong (EBCCK), and Elma Kamonong High School(EKHS). The Walindwa Board of Directors in the US works closely with our counterparts, the EBCCK Board in Kenya, to coordinate this care.

The Children's Centre supports approximately 60 children who are orphaned or from non-functioning families, from the time they arrive (often between ages 4 and 8) until they have completed their highest level of education (high school, trade school, or college). The Centre provides a loving, Christ-centered environment where students are empowered to become children and young adults with integrity who are responsible, productive members of Kenyan society. Many graduates return to the Centre to "give back", either as employees of EBCCK or as role models and mentors to the younger children.
