We are currently taking care of 134 kids (89 boys and 47 girls) aged between 3 to 16 years. The majority of children who come to our homes from Government Rescue Centres, via the Kenyan Children’s Court. Children are placed into these centres by government officials after they have lost their families for one reason or another and have no one else to care for them. Some have lost their families due to ill health, death, or abandonment; some have run away due to the abuse and desperation within their own homes, or some are simply lost. Most of the children have been taken off the streets by police and brought to these Rescue Centres.
After all avenues of tracing for their parents or relatives to care for the children have been exhausted, MSCF we take these children into our homes and care for them as if they were our own. They all attend a nearby public primary school, from grade 1 to 8, and then attend a boarding secondary school (grade 9 to 12). We also provide vocational training for those children not academically inclined. Nursery classes will be held at the home. This home it’s always there for the children, even when they leave to pursue their own dreams. They will always be able to call it their home. We provide everything a child needs to ‘prepare’ themselves to gain the most they can out of life. Counselling it’s a high priority as these children have been through more hardship then most of us can imagine.
