Macecall desperately needs a new kitchen and dining room to keep up with the demands of 69 children. The photo above shows their kitchen.
When you give to Macecall Children’s Home dining hall and kitchen project, your donation will be matched dollar for dollar by two generous anonymous donors who have given $10,000. The total cost of the project is $20,000.
Macecall desperately needs a new kitchen and dining room so they can keep up with the demands of the children at their growing orphanage.
“The space we are using currently is small and cannot fit all the children let alone a dining table and chairs for the children to eat and study.” – Administrator Alfred Muthomi
An expansion will allow the children to eat their meals and study comfortably at tables altogether, instead of taking turns sitting on crowded benches.
This is the Macecall kitchen that prepares meals for 69 children. As you can see, it is completely inadequate and needs immediate attention.
These Kenyan women are cooking the meals for the children on coal-burning stoves with dirt floors. As you can see, their rundown kitchen desperately needs to be reconstructed into a large kitchen that can accommodate their needs.
Thank you for your kind support for the Macecall Matching Campaign.

Loretta met David Purviance on a chance trip in 2006, while seeking to be of service to the vulnerable children in India. Since then, Loretta has been a longtime supporter of World’s Children as a donor, sponsor, and previous Board member. She had the wonderful opportunity to return to India twice to visit several World’s Children orphanages, and even identified the Happy Home orphanage and petitioned to bring it into the WC family. Loretta raised funds to build a well at Happy Home, where it now has clean water for all the children and staff.
Loretta currently works with the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services as the Program Manager for the six Medical Hubs – the child abuse evaluation clinics for the County. She also serves as the Program Manager for the County’s Gender Health Program, serving patients seeking gender-affirming care in a safe environment. Before her work with Los Angeles County, Loretta spent many years serving non-profit organizations in CA and in MN, her last as the Executive Director of a statewide non-profit in MN. She has a long history of volunteer work including Board Member and Board Chair service, grant writing and fundraising experience, program development, and creative leadership, all serving our most vulnerable and disenfranchised populations.
Loretta holds a Bachelor of Science in Human Services, a Master’s degree in Spiritual Psychology, and a Master’s degree in Organizational Leadership. She lives in Los Angeles County with her partner, Myck, and their rescue kitties, Scooter and Thunder.
