Transform Lives
Together, Let's make
the Difference
Break Barriers.
Create Opportunities.
Our Reason
Too Many People Live in Physical and Spiritual Poverty
Parents everywhere want to give their children everything they need to thrive. The trouble is, some people are living in extreme poverty, and their ability to provide for their children is limited by circumstances outside their control. Living on less than $2/day, with no viable avenues to earn more, parents feel stuck, even hopeless — forced daily to pick and choose which critical needs to meet. No one should be confined to a life of poverty.
Why do we focus our efforts on Mathare Valley?
Poverty stretches across the entire Mathare slums, affecting almost everyone in this area. Its effects reach deeper. Uniquely connected to different causes, the effects of poverty are revolving—one result leads to another source, which leads to another consequence.
Ready to Take Action?
Our consolidated initiatives addresses brokenness in every sector of life to bring light and hope where none existed before.
We partner with Christians, churches, organizations and institutions around the world to offer physical, emotional, and spiritual support to vulnerable children and their families so they can lift themselves out of generational poverty and experience life-transforming hope through Jesus Christ.
