Welcome! Partner with us.
The center was started in 1999 in a very humble way. The idea was born after observing that there were serious negative effects that came along with community development. Modern life styles and urbanization comes along with increased population, subsidization of land and extreme poverty. There is an increase in numbers of children without parental care, who turn to the streets to reckless lifestyles.
It is this that brought a great concern about intervention, by coming up with a rescue center to provide a positive solution in terms of education, better health care and shelter to such children.
Community technical advice and counseling is a requirement that need attention which we are addressing. We started with a small number of children whom we could manage to provide for their educating, health care and shelter and now the number has increased. We take care of children orphaned due to HIV/AIDS and those from poverty stricken families.
Our vision is to provide solutions that affect the community positively, with a resource center that provides life skills for youth groups and those with special needs. e.g the disabled.
This has not been fully achieved we use our few resources to take care of over 100 children providing them with formal education that is nationally examinable and we have seen a positive change in the community.
Accommodation and health are our priority needs since the community has more needs that we can’t cope with high school and university sponsorship which is a crucial need for the bright children.
Our project has several programs:
1. Sports:- We hold sporting events 3 times a year. These help the children to develop talents. We also encourage the children to participate more in sports for physical fitness.
2. Networking:- We partner with many other organizations caring for children.
3. Volunteer Program:- We host volunteers and offer residential facilities for individuals and teams.
4. Children Bible Club:- Children meet every Saturday for spiritual nurture. These makes the children grow spiritually.
5. Donations: The project is open to interested partners in any of the project areas. We also welcome grand-making agencies to partner with us hence making this children achieve their dreams.
6. Educational trips:- These are held regularly to expose our children to new experiences in life.
7. Life skills:- These are given to develop the child holistically.
8. Talents:- We ensure that every talent is identified earlier and developed.
