Africa is estimated to have close to 34 million orphaned children. In Kenya, the number of orphaned and vulnerable children is estimated to be about 2.8 million. Special attention should be paid to these children, to prevent further vulnerability and ensure their well-being as they transition into adulthood. The Davis and Shirtliff CSR program,

prioritizes partnering with institutions that work with children, like the Heritage of Faith Children’s Home, while executing its community activities.

The home was founded by a couple in their season of gratitude. It is located in Mlolongo, Machakos County, where it looks after 160 orphaned children. The home has had a long-standing partnership with Davis and Shirtliff since 2010 when D&S first donated to them, a borehole pumping system. Recently, the home approached Davis and Shirtliff once more, requesting for support in solarizing their borehole. Davis and Shirtliff has donated and installed 20 no. solar panels towards the noble cause. In a moving and colorful commissioning ceremony, the home founders expressed their gratitude to Davis and Shirtliff for their continued support.
