Welcome to the Mission in Action website!

Orphans: Our collective responsibility

Welcome to our website. Please feel free to browse through our website and to contact us if you have any questions.  Thank you for taking the time to read about the work that we are doing and for helping us make a difference in these children’s lives.

We would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone involved in the fashion show on 28th February 2006, with your help and encouragement we managed to raise over £15,000 which was put straight towards building the roof on the new orphanage.

The 2nd annual Mission in Action UK (MIA UK) Gala Evening will consist of a four course dinner followed by a fashion show and fundraising auction. Entertainment only tickets will also be sold, giving patrons access to the fashion show and auction events of the evening. You can find out more about this event being held at Cargo on 21st April 2007 on the Projects/Fashion Show page

Mission in Action was established by an Australian family who relocated to Nakuru, Kenya to dedicate their lives to the people of Nakuru.

The official website is at www.nakurubabyorphanage.com this site is for UK fundraising (mostly Edinburgh!)

MIA is currently in the process of building their baby orphanage. Once this is complete they will be able to foster up to 30-40 newborn babies and children up to four years.

MIA is currently in the process of building their baby orphanage. Once this is complete they will be able to foster up to 30-40 newborn babies and children up to four years.

The MIA family are currently living in a town house in Nakuru while the orphanage is being built. They are already fostering twelve newborn babies and children, but their space is getting crowded and the family are finding it difficult to say no to any new additions to the family.

Our original mission was to raise £5000.00 for MIA through our gala evening at Cargo on Tuesday 28th Feb 2006. We went to Nakuru in March 2006 to volunteer our help to the Mission in Action family. We paid for our own airfares and brought over medical supplies and clothes, books and toys for the children.

Please look around our new site to find out more about what we are doing to help children with our events, including a prestigious fashion show, and you can also help us by donating here. If you would like any more information about Mission in Action, please don't hesitate to contact us.
