In Kenya, poverty and family breakdown leave thousands of children without a safe home, a hot meal, or any real path to school. We interrupt that cycle.
Blessed Generation began as a single small orphanage in the 1980s. Today it operates across three Kenyan locations — Ruiru near Nairobi, Malindi on the coast, and Nyamira in the west — providing education from kindergarten through university, safe shelter, foster care, daily nutrition, healthcare, and community outreach. Around 100 qualified Kenyan staff deliver this work every day.

KCSE pass rate — BG Ruiru High School
Since opening in 2015, BG’s own boarding high school in Ruiru has achieved a 98% national examination pass rate every year. Alumni are now doctors, engineers, and teachers across Kenya.

Children at the school BG built and gave away
In 2013, BG built a primary school in Nyamira and donated it to the community. Today it serves 750+ children — including the first adapted classroom for children with intellectual disabilities in western Kenya.
Three locations across Kenya — each one different in history and focus, all united by the same commitment.
Central Kenya · ~30km from Nairobi
BG Ruiru
The flagship. A boarding high school where 125+ students achieve a 98% national exam pass rate. Operating since the 1980s. Alumni are now doctors, engineers, and teachers across Kenya. Expansion underway — classrooms, dormitories, and ICT facilities urgently needed.

Five programs. Every child covered — completely.
A child in school without food cannot concentrate. A child with shelter but without belonging cannot heal. BG addresses every dimension simultaneously — because partial intervention consistently fails.
01
Education — kindergarten through university
02
Safe homes — family-scale, not institutional
03
Community outreach — keeping families together
04
Healthcare — check-ups and treatment for all
05
Daily nutrition — every child, every day
Safe homes — where a child sleeps matters as much as where they study
Children in BG’s care live in small family-style homes — a maximum of ten per home — with dedicated house parents and consistent adult care. In Malindi, the Lighthouse Village extends this further: 14 homes where working couples take in BG children as full family members, not residents.

The children who grew up here are now building Kenya.
Registered Nurse · Nairobi
Grace Wanjiku, 28
“The people at BG made me feel like I belonged somewhere. That feeling changed everything.”
Grace grew up at BG Ruiru from age seven. She passed her KCSE in 2015 and qualified as a Registered Nurse in 2019. She now sponsors a child at BG Malindi — the same age she was when she arrived at Ruiru.
Secondary Teacher · Malindi
James Otieno, 28 — BG Malindi
“BG taught me what it meant to show up every day and not give up. I try to pass that on to every student I teach.”
James lost both parents to HIV/AIDS by age four. He grew up at BG Malindi and now teaches mathematics at a school three kilometres from the BG campus, regularly mentoring BG students preparing for KCSE.
Bank Officer · Now a donor
David Kamau, 30
“I set up my sponsorship the month I got my first proper salary. Someone did it for me. I always knew I would do it for someone else.”
David came to BG Ruiru at nine. He passed KCSE in 2015 and now works as a bank loans officer in Nairobi. In 2023 he set up a monthly €40 sponsorship for a child at BG Malindi.
