The Bethel Children's Home is located in Londiani, Kenya. It was here that the first team of Irish people went to in 2002 to complete various service projects.

The home has 70 orphans aged between 3 months and 18 years of age. All orphans are either abandoned,or their mother has died in child birth, and many of them are AIDS orphans.

Friends of Londiani, Ireland supports the upkeep and running of the home in Londiani, and is committed to assisting with the education of the children in the home.

The cost of running the home, feeding the children and providing education for them is approximately €50,000 per year.
