A significant fire broke out at the Mama Ngina Children’s Home in Nairobi, causing extensive damage to property and dormitories.
The fire gutted several buildings within the facility, destroying personal belongings of the children, bedding, and essential supplies.
Local residents and the Nairobi City County Fire Department responded to the scene to contain the blaze and prevent it from spreading to neighboring structures.
No fatalities or serious injuries were immediately reported, as the children and staff were safely evacuated during the onset of the fire.
Ongoing Support
Organizations like the Kenya Red Cross Society often coordinate emergency relief and counseling services following such disasters to support displaced children.
Fire investigators and the Kenya Police are working to determine the cause of the fire, with initial suspicions often centering on electrical faults or cooking accidents in high-occupancy facilities.
