Founded in 2010, Rehema House started with a dream to rescue pregnant teen moms out of desperate situations in Nairobi, Kenya. Today, Rehema House consists of three maternity homes. Rehema is the Swahili word for mercy.

Rehema House is an indigenous work, founded and led by local Kenyans, Maureen and Oliver Kaderi and funded by Mercy House Global. As of spring 2024, Rehema House has welcomed 84 pregnant teens between the ages of 12-16 years old and welcomed 81 miracle babies!

There are a vast number of empowerment programs and opportunities available to the residents during their two+ year stay before they are transitioned into the Sponsorship program for an additional two to four years. Our team works hard to rehabilitate and reintegrate the teen moms and their children back home whenever possible. If it’s not possible, the most vulnerable residents are invited to join the Transition home.

*Rehema House is funded by donations made through Mercy House Global.
