The Children

Our Story

The foundation was established and registered under Section 10 of the Societies Act No. R.49701 in July 2017 by Elizabeth Adhiambo Van Den Berg, in memory of her mother, Mama Felistus Agutu Asoyo. Today, we carry that torch in Kitmikayi, Kisumu County, Kenya. The foundation is the brainchild of the late Mama Felistus, who was herself an orphan. From an early age, she endured the hardships of being denied food by relatives. She made a vow that no orphan would go hungry during her lifetime. Although she had little income, she shared whatever she had with orphans. In honor of her memory, the foundation was launched in July 2017. Since then, the foundation has greatly improved the lives of children living with HIV/AIDS and continues to expand its support to more children in need. Currently, nine children benefit from proper nutrition, education, and clean accommodation. They are happy, healthy, and live decent lives with dignity. Most importantly, they feel they belong to a family that truly cares.

By building a children's home inspired by her late iconic mother Mama Felistus Agutu—who herself was an orphan—she has worked tirelessly to serve others. Today, the foundation houses 9 children in a facility with permanent rooms, a garden, and dedicated caretakers.
