The Love of Christ Children's Center and School is located in an impoverished area of rural Western Kenya in the Luucho Village near the town of Bungoma. In this area many children have lost one or both of their parents and are with little or no means of support. The Center began in 2007 with a desire to provide hope for a few of these helpless little ones by supporting their physical and spiritual needs. FBC partnered with Mustard Seed Evangelical Minitries and Fredrick N. Mulei to begin this project.
