Happy Life Mission is a non-profit charity organization dedicated to providing hope to abandoned children through a three-fold ministry: Shelter, Education, and Medical Care. We are located in Roysambu, along Lumumba Drive, next to Jesse Kay Hospital.
The abandonment of a child is unimaginable, yet it happens every day in many parts of the world—and Kenya is no exception. Unemployment, extreme poverty, health challenges, substance abuse, family dysfunction, fear, and despair often lead to this heartbreaking reality. We have witnessed it firsthand. Hospitals throughout Kenya frequently face the tragedy of mothers leaving wards without their babies, never to return. It’s not uncommon for a baby to be abandoned outdoors—in ditches, bushes, pit latrines, or left on a doorstep, hoping someone compassionate will find and care for the child.
In 2002, Pastor Peter and Faith Ndungu responded to this crisis by opening Happy Life Children’s Home to care for three abandoned children. By God’s providence and through unwavering faith, three became ten, ten became twenty, and the numbers continued to grow. To date, Happy Life Mission has cared for more than 1000 children.
This journey has not been without challenges, but it has been an exciting and rewarding one. Starting with a rented house in 2002 for Ksh. 15,000 in a Nairobi suburb, the mission has grown to three pillars across the country —all thanks to God’s provision. The lives of countless children have been positively impacted, along with those of the many dedicated staff members who have served with us over the years.
Without government funding, Happy Life Mission has relied entirely on the compassion and generosity of partners and friends, whose support has consistently exceeded our expectations.
The united and dedicated leadership of our Directors—Peter and Faith Ndungu in Kenya, Jim and Sharon Powell and Mark and Dorothy Dugle in the USA—has been instrumental in the mission’s success. Together with the boards on both sides, their leadership has borne remarkable fruit.
Happy Life Children’s Home was founded on the belief that every child deserves to grow up in a loving family. What started as a small dream is now an incredible home for abandoned children and a thriving organization making a lasting impact.
Almost all the children who come to Happy Life arrive without a name. We give them a name and surround them with love. Newborns up to age three are cared for at our Nairobi campus, located next to Jesse Kay Children’s Hospital. When they reach school age, and if they have not been adopted, they transition to the Juja Farm Campus, where they live and study at Happy Life Christian School and later advance to Faith Premier High School.

“The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
~ 2 Corinthians 9:6-7
