These 30 years of the Home have a lot to say, it is a history of courage, of love, of solidarity, of promoting dignity … a beautiful history written in the heart of the community of Naromoru, and many other people from various parts of Kenya.

………………………………………………………

In this 30 years of the Home we find our roots, the motivation, the beauty of our service and of our hard work, the meaning of getting tired,….at the same time, while  celebrating  all  this beautiful history, we look to the future with new awareness of what we are, of what this Home means for so many children and families, awareness of the immense potential  both human and professional of the Home, of what we are called to be in a society continuously changing, and today perhaps more than ever, a society which is increasingly aware  of the dignity of our children, who need care,  protection and love, a conducive environment  which  can help improve life condition, can help change.  In this Home we do everything possible to make things change for the children:  it is the reason of this Home.

………………………….

… no child should  be denied or delayed treatment, although economical constrains might prevent his parents from reaching the Home;  a special attention instead should be given to the most vulnerable members in our communities. The children’s Act says: “a child with any disability has a right to be treated with respect and to be given proper medical care”.

As Naromoru Disabled Children’s Home we  would like to voice the rights and the needs of these children, and reaffirm our commitment to improving their living conditions,  and thus giving them dignity and a better future.  Giving dignity to the person is  the core of our mission as Elizabethan sisters, and we will be faithful to it,  with loving care, competence and professionalism.

…………………………..
