Room for More

We are expanding Mustard Seed House to welcome 250 guests per night — because every family deserves a place to stay while their loved one heals.

By 2028, demand for accommodation at Tenwek will be three times our current capacity. The Room for More Master Plan will construct larger, permanent Mustard Seed Houses across four phases — ensuring no family is ever turned away.
