About the Ministry
Mukuru Kwa Reuben is one of Nairobi’s largest informal settlements, home to thousands of families struggling with poverty. Many parents rely on casual labor, such as scrap metal collection, to provide for their households. As a result, many children are left without access to basic education, proper nutrition, or discipleship. The cycle of poverty continues when children are unable to attend school, learn to read, or gain the life skills and receive the Gospel when neglected.
The Vision of the empower project is to see every child in Mukuru empowered with literacy, education, nourishment, and receive the Gospel—fully prepared to succeed in formal schools and beyond.
The Empowerment center is currently
- Literacy Classes: Two trained teachers provide reading and writing lessons to children unable to join school.
- Feeding Program: Every child receives a free hot meal daily.
- Discipleship & Devotionals: Gospel presentation and Intentional discipleship
- School Transition Support: Children are enrolled into nearby government schools with scholarships and ongoing monitoring.
- Sports Mentorship: Structured play and training sessions use sports to inspire discipline, teamwork, and confidence.
