Shalom Gate was started in 1998 by Margaret Nyokabi Muchiri. Margaret started by helping and taking custody 2 children from a neighbour family that had been bereaved. Later in 2000 she took 4 orphans from a family friend summing up to 6 children.
She started a group of 15 old women who were raising children that were orphaned. The number of children increased to 29. Due lack of facilities she took the children to St. Gorent Children’s Home under Catholic Priest Fr. Gichia and LOVE FOR ALL CHILDREN’S HOME in Nakuru.
Further, in 2019 the founder registered Shalom Gates Children’s Home as Community Based Organisation(CBO).Since then Shalom Gates Children’s Home has grown to an approximate of 52 children,both in primary and secondary schools and Volunteer Staff.
Shalom Gates Children’s Home has recently been issued with a notice from KPLC as they are located under electricity lines thus living the management stranded.
The management is asking well-wishers in helping the home in purchasing atleast an 1Acre of land and in construction of a decent settlement for the children.
