Donations
The main donations required are money, foodstuffs and boys’ clothes and shoes.
Since we provide schooling for the boys, we appreciate donations that make learning easier for them. All kind of school materials such as exercise books, text books, biros and pencils are most welcome. For non-formal education in the home, fiction books, encyclopaedias and religious books are also required.
The boys benefit from taking part in various sports, some of which require them to use external facilities. Donations in this area include sports kit and equipment.
Cash donations made for the skills training programme will help the home to acquire for the students a welding machine, barber machines; chairs, accessories and containers for more space.
Part of the home’s long term goals is to build a new drop-in centre. At this stage we are looking for a plot (about 1 acre) or a spacious house in Nairobi.
Plans are also being made to construct another block for accommodation, library, classrooms and recreation facilities in the compound.
Finally the home is planning to install an intercom system.
Sponsorship
Through Kwetu you can sponsor secondary or college education of boys who are still at the centre or have already been reunited with their families.
You can choose between an individual sponsorship for a boy and general sponsorship through the home. In both ways you, as the sponsor, will get information about the progress of the boy and how the money is used.
Volunteers/Internship
We take volunteers, from Kenya and abroad, to support us in our work with the street boys. Everybody, lay or religious, is welcome to help us according to their time and skills. You can join us for short or long term volunteering. One may also want to volunteer by coaching the boys in different sports. At the moment we train them in football and cricket.
Internship is not only available for medical, law and counselling students, but also for those learning social work in general or are able to teach.
We offer you the opportunity to work with children, learn from them and gain a practical experience.
