Wings of Hope Rescue Home

What Wings of Hope Rescue Home does

Wings of Hope Rescue Home is a charitable Community Based Organization (CBO) registered in Kenya and founded in 2016, headquartered at Kamulu in Ruai along Kangundo Road, Nairobi. The organization operates a single residential facility that serves as a safe haven for unsupported pregnant teenage girls aged 12-17, with a particular focus on victims of rape and child sexual abuse facing rejection and harm. Its core service offering combines shelter, pregnancy and delivery support, counseling, spiritual discipleship, education reintegration (girls are re-enrolled in school after six months at their prior academic level), and vocational skills training including beadwork, bread baking, hairdressing, and photography. A child sponsorship program and multiple donation channels (Equity Bank, MPesa PayBill, Till Number, direct MPesa) enable supporter engagement from individuals and organizations globally.

The organization is led by Co-Director Irwin Mukonyole, who brings a background in banking and college tutoring, and Liuba Muteshi, a community health nurse, social worker, and guardian ad litem in the children's court. Wings of Hope has cultivated a network of institutional partners including Strathmore University Law Clinic (mentorship), Vunja Kimya Foundation (medical camps and donor channelling), Dormans Coffee (in-kind supplies), Edenbridge Capital, the Australian High Commission, Jomo Kenyatta Foundation, and Mash Foundation. Marketing and outreach rely on a website blog, social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram), email newsletters, and community events such as charity walks.

The business model is entirely donation- and sponsorship-driven; the organization charges no fees for services and has no commercial revenue. The current major initiative is a 100,000 USD capital campaign to purchase land and construct a permanent residential home for the girls and their babies. With 11-50 employees, no disclosed revenue, and no external investment or parent company, Wings of Hope operates as a small, founder-led nonprofit whose capacity to scale is contingent on donor inflows, volunteer support, and continued partnership engagement.
