Education
Our foundation is dedicated to providing street/vulnerable kids with access to quality education, empowering them with knowledge and skills that will carry them through all levels of education and lead a dignified life.
Mentorship
Through one-on-one mentorship programs, we connect street/vulnerable kids with caring adults who guide and inspire them, helping to build their confidence, self-esteem, and aspirations for the future.
Food Security, Nutrition & Medical Care
We prioritize the health and well-being of the children under our care, by providing a high-quality balanced diet, offering comprehensive medical care and support to ensure they can focus on their education without the burden of untreated health issues.
Guidance and Counseling
Our experienced counselors provide emotional and psychological support to these young individuals, addressing their traumas, fears, and challenges, ultimately aiding their personal growth and development.
Child Rescue Centre
We offer a secure and nurturing environment where street/vulnerable kids can find refuge from the dangers of life on the streets, ensuring they have a stable and supportive place to call home as they pursue their education and dreams.
Day Camp
In Kenya, children are out of school for about three months each year during 'Term Breaks' in April, August, and November/December. During these breaks, we run a 'Day Camp' that provides nutritious meals, enrichment activities (sports, arts & crafts, mentorship), and age-appropriate community service activities—with the overall goal of instilling a spirit of giving back to society, compassion and responsibility, while keeping children off the streets
