Flomina Children’s Home is a charitable organization established to cater for abandoned, orphans, as well as the homeless children in Kenya.
The home which has been in existence since 2002, and officially registered in the year 2005 under CCI, was established by Mrs. Florence Muthama and her husband Mr. Mutinda Muthama who were touched by the plight of abandoned, neglected, orphaned and homeless children in the informal settlement Soweto slums and within Nairobi environs currently situated in Embakasi East, Nairobi.
