About

It's an artist hostel and backpackers, a resource to raise funds and awareness of a street boys project in Mombasa. My space is in the safest neighborhood of Mombasa, NYALI. It is surrounded by beautiful houses within an estate. It's quiet and private with a large common garden, a terrace, another room has its own balcony. Use the kitchen, artistic living room, clean toilets. You can live here with your children as well.

It's close to the beach, supermarkets, restaurants, entertainment venues, golf course and a crocodile farm

You will enjoy the peace and stillness in the house, nice in-house food, self drive car, droping service, attention of a hospitable house help, personalized entertainment. Okiror will personally play his African instruments for you on request. If you create time to visit our street boys home, you will also experience life changing stories from boys who were once in the street but are now exploding with talent and inspiration.

OUR STORY


AKOGO HOUSE
More than a stay. A shared journey.

Akogo House is a home — not only for guests, but for a growing story of hope, dignity, and transformation.

Founded as part of Beats of Hope Africa, Akogo House exists to create a bridge between visitors and the lives of children and youth growing up in vulnerable circumstances along the Kenyan coast.

Here, hospitality and purpose meet.

WHY AKOGO HOUSE EXISTS
Many children and young people grow up without stable care, education, or safe spaces to express their gifts.
Through Beats of Hope Africa and Wana wa Mola Community, we walk with them — not as charity cases, but as creative, resilient human beings.

Akogo House helps make this possible.

Every stay, every meal, and every shared moment contributes to:

Care and education

Music, dance, acrobatics & arts

Life skills, confidence & belonging

Community-led transformation

SHARED TABLE • SHARED IMPACT
At Akogo House:

Meals are prepared with care

Kitchen use supports children directly

Guests are invited into a story, not asked to “donate”

Your presence alone already matters.

CULTURE • COMMUNITY • CONNECTION
Guests are welcome to take part in:

Cultural experiences (music, dance, acrobatics)

Community visits to Wana wa Mola

Story-sharing and creative workshops

Volunteering opportunities (short or long term)

These experiences are guided by dignity, consent, and mutual learning.

THE AKOGO WAY (FOR VOLUNTEERS)
We believe:

Relationship comes before results

Presence matters more than performance

Stories are shared, not sold

Children are not projects — they are partners

As a volunteer or guest, you are invited to walk alongside, not to “fix.”

One of the best hostels ever. And the young man Tom who is managing the place is such a blessing. The staff are super welcoming and kind. I am looking forward to my next stay. Kudos 👏 💐

Unfortunately, my experience was quite disappointing, even though the house itself and the garden are pretty. It was very difficult to find the hostel because NONE of the information online was right. The welcome felt unprofessional, and during my stay the service level was very low. I once ordered a cup of coffee and it took nearly an hour to get it. VERY uncomfortable beds, bedlinen were not changed, room never cleaned, garbage in the room not emptied. Level of customer service highly needed.
