Numbers tell part of the story. A child’s whole life — from arrival to independence — is what we are actually measuring.
Impact at Blessed Generation is not measured in one year’s output. It is measured in what a child who arrived at age 7 is doing at age 27. We have 40 years of that data — and it tells a story no headline statistic can fully hold.
Every year since the high school opened its first class, 98% of BG Ruiru students have passed Kenya’s national secondary examinations. Small class sizes, social workers on campus daily, stable boarding — this is what produces that number consistently.
Around 75 former students are currently enrolled in higher education or skills training programs across Kenya. Many more have already completed their studies and are working professionally. Some have become donors themselves — sponsoring the children who follow them.
BG built a primary school in Nyamira and gave it to the community — not retaining it as a BG institution. The majority of 750+ students are from the surrounding area. The government provides electricity. Local parents co-fund the lunch program alongside BG Netherlands.
Includes children in residential care, enrolled in BG-funded schools, and supported through the outreach program at Ruiru, Malindi, and Nyamira. This figure has grown continuously since BG began as a single orphanage in the 1980s.
14 homes where working couples take in BG children as full family members. Built with the Pharus Foundation. Being studied by child welfare organizations across Kenya as a replicable alternative to institutional residential care.
An organization that has operated without interruption for 40+ years, through political upheaval, economic crises, the HIV/AIDS epidemic, post-election violence, and a global pandemic, has a track record worth trusting.
This is not a summary of services. This is what a child actually receives when they grow up with Blessed Generation — from the moment they arrive to the day they leave as a capable, independent adult building their own future.
