About 58ten
The Africa Inland Church (AIC) has been active in Kenya since the early 1900s. In the 1970s, AIC established 23 Children’s Homes across Kenya to care for orphans. When funding was lost, a group from Chelten Baptist Church in the greater Philadelphia area formed Chariots for Hope to secure support for these homes.
In response to the need, 58ten Inc. was founded to help. Starting in 2010, we partnered with Chariots for Hope to reopen and support these homes.
Our goal is to raise funds to provide holistic care and share the gospel with the children. Each home is run by local Kenyan staff, with regular visits from Chariots for Hope and annual visits from 58ten, including sponsor trips.
58ten’s desire is to unite a community of believers willing to partner with us as we attempt to fulfill the biblical command to “pour yourself out for the hungry,” so that our light will “rise in the darkness.” We covet your prayers and support and would love for you to contact us if you have additional questions.
