Our Board of Directors
From Msch
STEPHEN GACHENGO
After more than two decades of service unto the Lord, it seems the lord has released a second wind for this great work that the Lord has impressed upon his heart, his tireless application, journeying, mobilization, urging and seeking of the Lord for the Home has been inspiring for the optimism and trust he has put in the lord to bring to fruition. He has carried this vision wholeheartedly as he strives to carry the gospel to these less fortunate children as well as all the stake-holders who have come into contact at some point or other with this vision. The deposit of God within his life and heart as pertaining to carrying out His vision for His work, parenting and building successful and Godly founded families and coalescing together God's saints for His work are all greatly significant attributes that have developed and pushed the Home to its current stage.
BEATRICE GACHENGO
I doubt many concerned or those who have come into contact with MSCH or HCC even know her by the name of Beatrice, majority would know her as either mum or mama shyco, in great part due to her natural and seamlessly maternal inclination and nature towards all. A real stalwart of the faith at HCC after more than two decades of service, she brings enormous wealth of experience, wisdom and direction. Her affable and approachable nature is highlighted by how open and welcoming her own home and heart is unto all. Mama has dedicated her life unto service unto the Lord serving with her husband for over………..yrs (they have been married for over 30yrs now – a commendable record in this day and age) now and still going strong, amongst all this she still manages to run her own general store as well as raising over 34 kids plus 4 of her own, all successful in their own right.

Her service is laudable for its unfailing quality and the natural joy that accompanies it. Married now for 12 years, she's the mother of 2 boys, though that would be debatable when the children at the Home are asked.
