CLEAN PLATE NUTRITION AND THERAPY PROJECT

Dear Friend,

In the heart of Mathare, every Saturday brings quiet hope.

Over 50 children with disabilities arrive at our center — some in wheelchairs, some in the arms of their parents — all seeking one thing: the chance to be seen, supported, and strengthened.

Thanks to your support, our Clean Plate Nutrition and Therapy Project has continued to offer free Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, and Behavior Therapy to these children. Many of them are on the autism spectrum, have cerebral palsy, or face developmental challenges that make daily life harder. Yet, week after week, we witness small but powerful milestones: a child holding a spoon for the first time, another saying their first word, or simply learning to make eye contact.

This quarter, we also distributed over 150 food parcels to families — ensuring children not only receive therapy but have the nutrition needed for real growth.

One story we’ll never forget:
Six-year-old Ayub, who came to us silent and withdrawn, is now learning to express himself through signs and sounds — his mother says, “I see my son differently now. I see possibility.”

Your donations make this happen. You make therapy possible. You make meals possible. You make milestones possible.

As we head into the next quarter, we’re expanding our therapist team and preparing to welcome more children from Kawangware and Kiamaiko. Our waiting list is growing — but so is our resolve.Support us again DONATE

With love and thanks,

Kenneth Apopa,

Dear Friend,

Children with disabilities in Mathare face significant challenges in accessing therapy and proper nutrition. The Clean Plate Nutrition and Therapy Project is addressing this gap by providing free occupational and speech therapy services and monthly dried food parcels to improve their overall well-being.

Key Achievements

1. Therapy Services Provided – Over 150 children received occupational and speech therapy this quarter, helping them develop communication skills, mobility, and independence.
2. Nutrition Support – Families received nutritious dried food parcels, ensuring children have access to balanced meals to support their growth and therapy progress.
3. Caregiver Training – Parents and caregivers attended workshops on home-based therapy techniques and nutrition to sustain their children’s development beyond our sessions.

Impact

For children with disabilities, consistent therapy and proper nutrition are life-changing. Since starting therapy, some children have shown improved speech, motor skills, and social interactions. Caregivers have also reported better health and increased engagement from their children.

Challenges & Future Plans

The demand for therapy services continues to grow, but limited space and resources remain a challenge. We aim to expand therapy sessions and increase outreach to more families in need.

Thanks to your generosity, children with disabilities in Mathare are receiving the care and nutrition they deserve. We appreciate your continued commitment to this cause!
