The Kibera Slum Ministries is an idea whose
time has come.
It began as a vision in 1989 when Pastor Patrick Kimawachi,
graduated in a Bible College in Kenya felt God directing him to a
new and wider form of ministry. |
|
We are guided by the
vision of rescuing children at risk and giving them a better childhood
and future hope by protecting, guiding and healing them.
KSM services and initiatives are aimed at:
Providing care through our homes for children in the slums
who are abused, abandoned, neglected, misdirected, at-risk or caught up
in family turmoil or whose parents cannot care for them.
KSM Mission Statement
"To rescue and protect disadvantaged children in Kibera Slum and to
give them a better childhood experience and a future hope.” |
|
|
Kibera is one of the worlds
biggest and poorest slums, suffering from gross over-population and
periodic outbreak of diseases with enormous loss of life. There seems
little hope that the poverty will be substantially alleviated. Life is
very difficult in the Kibera slums. Walking through into the depths of
the slum is a pathetic adventure of shock. The children live in the
midst of a desperate situation that defies description.
What they
face everyday in the slums
Diseases from garbage and murky
waters, Family Conflicts, Abuse and defilement, Abandonment, Lack of
basic needs such as: Education, Shelter, Food, medication etc.
With KSM rescue
mission, everything changes for a child who is sponsored and can go to
school, Sunday School and church, where the children are loved, taught
and fed. |

Under Gospel Believers Fellowship, God led to
establish Kibera Slum Ministries with its distinction of helping
children who are abused, abandoned, neglected, misdirected, at-risk
or caught up in family turmoil or whose parents cannot care for them
because of death, separation, illness or some other reason.
We have two homes with 104 children,
Kibera (49) and
Kitale (55).

To rescue and protect children from
the trauma of physical and sexual abuse, extreme neglect, being
