SOS Children's Village Eldoret

SOS Children's Village in Eldoret was the third SOS Children's Village to be constructed in Kenya. It is located in Kapsoya Estate, about 6 km from Eldoret town. It was opened by the former President of Kenya, His Excellency Daniel Toroitich Arap Moi. Although the village started with 12 family houses, 3 more have recently been added. Each family house has a capacity of 10 children who attend either the kindergarten located in the village, the SOS Herman Gmeiner Primary or Secondary School, located directly opposite the village, or other government and private schools.

Attached to the village are the youth facilities where the youth move to as they reach adolescence. The girls' house is located within the village while the boys' house is a little further away from the village.
