SOS Children's Village Kisumu
Kisumu is located on the shores of Lake Victoria. SOS Children's Village Kisumu is the largest among all the villages in Kenya, and its construction ended in November 2011. So far, the village comprises 15 houses, guesthouse, resource centre, social hall and a kindergarten.
The village comprises 16 family houses, a village director's house, a house for the SOS aunts (SOS aunts take care of the children in case an SOS mother is absent), a guest house, an ICT resource centre, a sports ground, a multi-purpose hall, an administrative and service unit, coops for the chicken, vegetable beds, kindergarten, greenhouse for tomatoes and a water treatment plant.
Every family house has a capacity of 10 children, and the children attend the SOS Kindergarten (located in the village) and the SOS Herman Gmeiner Primary School located just 2kms away. The secondary school students attend the SOS Hermann Gmeiner Secondary School in Eldoret and other government and private schools. Attached to the village are the youth facilities where the youth move to as they reach adolescence.
