Our History


"Child of Destiny" was founded in February 2002 by Joseph Symmonand AlyceJo Mwangi. After thirty one years of marriage, three biological children (June, Marcus and Cynthia), over one hundred orphans at Jubilee Children Center in Ruai, Nairobi, pioneering Believers Faith Church in 1987, and now ministering and fundraising with a base in Rancho Cucamonga, CA, they still felt God calling them to do more.

AlyceJo has a passion to help children because she herself was an orphan in Elburgon, Kenya. AlyceJo tells a beautiful story of how a total stranger from New York took her in, saw something special and that his dedication, love and compassion changed her Destiny forever.

Due to extreme poverty, the government has no system in place to help parentless children. Four years ago Joseph and AlyceJo decided to seek financial support through the generosity of people all over the World. Today, "Child of Destiny" is supporting Jubilee Chidren Center which provides a safe and loving environment for over 100 children. Here, they are cared for by a professional Christian staff, receive quality education based on christian values, attend church, receive medical attention and above all, are alive and well.

Every two-three months Joseph and AlyceJo return to Kenya to get more children out of the slums and in to the orphanage. Their goal is to have 400 children in Primary School and 400 in High School. The construction of the Primary Shool is now completed and the building of the High School is ongoing.
