We collect information you choose to give us, such as your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and donation details when you contact us, donate, sponsor a child, or volunteer. Our website may also collect basic technical information, such as your browser type and the pages you visit, through cookies.

Sharing Your Information
We never sell or rent your personal information. We share it only with trusted service providers who help us run our work (such as payment processors), or when the law requires it.
Protecting Children's Privacy
The safety and dignity of the children in our care come first. We do not publish children's full names, exact locations, or sensitive personal details, and we share photos and stories only with the consent of their guardians and in ways that protect their identity. Our website is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from them online.

We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be posted on this page.
Non-Discrimination Policy
Rianyabwari Orphanage and Church welcomes and serves every child in need with love and dignity. In line with the Constitution of Kenya and the Children Act, 2022, we do not discriminate against any child, family, volunteer, donor, or partner on the basis of race, tribe or ethnicity, color, sex, nationality, social origin, disability, health status (including HIV status), or economic background.
Every child in our care receives equal access to food, shelter, education, health care, and protection. Decisions about admitting a child are based on the child's needs and best interests.
As a Christian ministry, our work is rooted in faith, but our care is never conditional on a child's or family's religious beliefs. We welcome volunteers and supporters of all backgrounds who respect our mission and our child-protection standards.
If you believe someone has been treated unfairly, please contact us at: Rianyabwariorphanage@gmail.com Every concern will be taken seriously and handled confidentially.
