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.

The Home located in Kitale, Western Kenya on a 3.5 acre piece of land,
has 55 children most of whom have been orphaned by HIV/Aids, marital
conflicts and recent post-election violence that rocked the country. It
is estimated over 50,000 children were displaced in the violence in
Kitale and are now beggars on the streets. KSM rescued some of them and
have joined the Kitale family. 14 children are in high school, the rest
in primary schools.
Boarding section has one house, a kitchen, and a dining hall. With 55
children and 5 workers housed in one single house, it is beyond its
capacity and a need for another building to ease the congestion.
There is a need for family and study rooms, drilling of water among
other needs. |
