We are so sorry we have been so quiet! We have been busy over the past few months working to improve the way we deliver updates! In an effort to streamline our efforts, we have moved to a new system and we may need your help!
During our transition to the new software platform, the automatic billing process was interrupted preventing any regularly scheduled donations from being processed. If you contributed to Hekima Place on a monthly basis through automatic billing, we are here to help re-establish your scheduled donations.
We are here to make this transition as easy as possible and there are so many ways to update your recurring donation:
- Visit our website!
-
Email Laura Bright at lbright@hekimaplace.org
- Contact our office directly at 412-745-8400
Thank you again for your continued generosity and for making a difference in the lives of the children who live, love and learn with us!

We are so grateful for each and every one of you for your commitment and support to the girls of Hekima Place. Because of you, each child who comes under our care has an opportunity to create a brighter future for not only themselves but for their communities, for Kenya, and for the world.
In 2022, we faced many challenges from international conflict and extreme drought to inflation but with the support of each donor, each church partner, each inspired partner who stood by us, we were able to meet the increased need of support with open arms.
You are opening doors to incredible opportunities. You are creating a loving space for each child to grow and thrive. You are ensuring access to quality education to empower each child’s future.
Together, we are building the future… one girl at a time! Please reach out to me if you have questions or would like to discuss Hekima Place at lbright@HekimaPlace.org. I would love the opportunity to hear more from you! Check out the full report! ››

In 2022, 12 HHLC students took the Kenyan National Examination Assessment. This examine tests the 6th grade student's understanding of the new skills based curriculum they have been learning such as agriculture, home sciences, and computer skills and helps determine the next steps in their educational journey. We are excited to report each student passed their exams! We are so proud of each and every one of the students who worked so hard. We continue to wish them luck as they continue their educational journey.
- 29 Hekima Hills Learning Centre students will sit for the Kenyan National Examination Assessment this year and are busy preparing. We ask you to keep them in your prayers as they get ready for this important milestone!

My name is Dorothy Basweti and I joined Hekima place in January 2008. When I joined Hekima Place, I felt I knew nothing but since then my life changed drastically into a happy life.
I learned that education is key. I never went to sleep hungry or went without clothing or shoes. I had a good place to sleep. Most importantly, Hekima Place showed me the importance of putting God first before I start my day.
Having good morals and great standards for myself help me to survive every day and I am really grateful and very thankful to Hekima Place for teaching me this. May God continue blessing it abundantly and give them strength to continue helping more children out here.
