About Us

A community home built on love and dignity.

Nuru Toto Foundation is a charitable institution situated in Athi River, opposite Star Sheikh School gate at the ground bordering Apex Steel Plant Company. We are a residence for orphans, abandoned, abused and desperate children — and a community-oriented home for the families around us.

We started a nonprofit daycare and a feeding programme as a way to give back to our community and seriously help parents struggling to make ends meet.
