Restoring Lives in Kawiti, Kenya

The Open Christian Center exists to restore lives and renew hope in persons living in western Kenya. Codenamed “Operation Nehemiah”, the Center aims to be the hands of feet of Jesus, providing a Christ centered education for students as well as providing food and housing for the needy in the area.

Our Causes

A little can go a long way.

God will multiply whatever anyone is able to give! Monies donated go towards the school and the community. We operate through volunteers in the US as well as volunteers on the ground in Kenya, and hold 501c3 status. There are no paid staff other than school personnel.

Because We Can

How can we
help them?

We aim to not only feed for a day but feed for life. We do this through instruction both at the school as well as within the community.

  • Help for education
  • Help for instructional programs
  • Help for housing
  • Help for food

PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING

Real people.
Real transformation.

We have come a long way! From our first tin sided kindergarten building to our multi-grade and multi-story concrete building, God has blessed us on our journey! Yet there is much more to do!

  • “Being able to attend school gives me a future in Kenya.”
  • “We are thankful for our clean water supply.”
