Visiting an orphanage - Kenya

Country forums / Africa / Kenya

Hello everyone,
I am wondering if it is possible to visit an orphanage for a day or two in Kenya while I am in the country. I am only there for a week so volunteer opportunities arent really an option. Does anyone know if it is possible to visit one just for a day and bring some goodies, clothes etc to the centres? if anyone thinks this is a stupid idea please tell me...
Do you think it is possible to get a taxi driver to take me to nakuru to an orphanage for a day then back to nairobi, or even overnight somewhere nearby?
Any suggestions welcome or personal experiences? I woudl love any replies on this
Thanks in advance
