About Agano Children

Caring for orphaned and vulnerable children.

Agano is the Swahili word for covenant — a binding promise. That promise is at the heart of our work: walking with children for as long as it takes.

Love, care, protection and opportunity.

At Agano Children, we are committed to transforming the lives of orphaned and vulnerable children by providing them with love, care, protection, and opportunities for a better future. We believe every child deserves to grow up in a safe and supportive environment where they can thrive and reach their full potential.

01

Safe Shelter and Daily Care

We provide children with a safe, secure, and loving home where they receive daily care, protection, and guidance. Our goal is to create a family-like environment where every child feels valued, accepted, and cared for.

02

Education Support

Education is key to breaking the cycle of poverty. We help children access quality education by paying school fees, providing school uniforms, books, and other learning materials. We encourage children to pursue their dreams through learning and personal development.

Healthcare and Medical Assistance

We ensure children receive proper medical care, regular health checkups, medication, and emergency treatment when needed. We are committed to supporting the physical well-being of every child under our care.

04

Counseling, Emotional, and Spiritual Support

Many children have experienced loss, trauma, and hardship. We offer counseling, mentorship, emotional care, and spiritual guidance to help them heal, gain confidence, and develop hope for the future.

05

Food, Clothing, and Basic Needs

We provide nutritious meals, clean clothing, hygiene supplies, and other essential needs to ensure children live healthy and dignified lives. Meeting these basic needs helps children focus on learning and growth.

06

Life Skills and Talent Development

We empower children by teaching practical life skills, leadership, teamwork, and responsibility. We also encourage participation in sports, music, arts, and other talents to help children discover and develop their abilities.
