The House of Healing Humanitarian Foundation was formed in March 2002 when through guidance Deborah Rugari the Founder invited friends to form a non-religious, non-profit and non political foundation to assist underprivileged children throughout the world.

Initially The House of Healing Humanitarian Foundation assisted World Youth International with projects such as the Owiti Children's Home in Kenya. However the Foundation has grown over the years and now supports its own projects. The first fund raiser "The Rainbow Ball" was held at the Hyatt in September 2002 raising $23,382.66. Since this time there have been 6 further events - two "Kenyan Dreaming Charity Balls"; three "April Sundaes" luncheons at McLarens on the Lake; a 60's Cabaret at the Burnside Ballroom and recently "Rock around the Lake" once again at McLarens on the Lake. We also hold various film evenings. This has now brought the total of funds raised by the Committee to an excess of $300,000. The House of Healing Humanitarian Foundation now supports the following:

• Owiti Children's Home

• Rangi Community Centre

• Rangala Babies Home for Orphans

• St. Paul's Boarding Facility for Abused Girls

• Selene Feeding Programme - for destitute widows

In 2006 projects were undertaken in Sri Lanka in combination with Hog Heaven Children's Foundation.

Our current project is a mobile Medical Clinic in Kisumu, Kenya which visits remote areas to assist those unable to access or afford medical assistance.  

Our Foundation is a registered non-profit organisation with the main focus on supporting HIV/AID's orphans in Kenya.
