Jane is the founder and the vision bearer of Janstan House of refuge situated in Witethie in Kiambu County. The rescue home was founded in April 2018. She started the project out of great desire and a calling in her to help the women and children who need hope in life. She started by collecting the women in the streets towards the end of last year, later in January she registered the organization and started working formally. She opened the center in witethie with six women and nineteen kids. Jane’s calling was towards women but she later implemented her plans into accommodating kids too since the women came with their kids. 

Janstan House of  Refuge was established and currently accommodates more than 30 kids of  whom attend primary sch, High sch, polytechnic and college,

The provision of comprehensive and effective care and support for people affected by situational crisis in Kenya falls far short of their needs. While there has been a great effort in establishing a shelter; offering counseling and prevention activities and rehabilitation; provision of quality care and support services have not kept apace mainly due to lack of capacity in various economic and social activities (both technical and financial).

We seek to work with charity groups based in Kenya in a one-year sustained capacity building program which will target technical capacity in provision of comprehensive support and Care services as well as strengthening of institutional capacity for management and resource mobilization, monitoring and evaluation.

Janstan House of refuge has worked with the target Women groups from the past year and conducted capacity building activities for all of them.
