About Us

The Abandoned Baby Center began as a response to a horrific problem: Every 10 minutes a baby is orphaned or abandoned in Kenya, their parents lost to epidemics, violence and poverty.

"There was no place in the area that provided the kind of intensive, one-on-one care abandoned babies need," Frances Jones, Abandoned Baby Center (ABC) co-founder says. "And innocent little ones were dying. We had to do something."

The Kenya Abandoned Baby Center opened in August 2001 to address this terrible situation. Many of the babies are brought to us barely alive. They come with nothing -- no names -- not even birthdays. But here at the ABC, they're given new life and real hope for a brighter future!

Staffed with medical and child-development professionals, our ABC is equipped to help meet the special needs of these babies, beginning with nourishing food, critical medical care and a loving home!

This innovative five-acre facility, on the outskirts of Nairobi, Kenya, has a medical center, playrooms and care cottages to help babies recover, grow and thrive.

Our Abandoned Baby Center is much more than a children's home. It is a lifesaving haven.
