Mathare Child Development Center was the destination of the ‘Every Child Is Your Child Project’, this past weekend!

What a glorious day we had with the precious kids!

First of all, my colleagues had single-handedly contributed money to see to it that we distributed sanitary towels for the 200+ girls in the home for 2 months and dry foodstuffs. That greatly touched my heart, considering the visit was planned in just 2 days. Thank you!

The first session kicked off with a prayer by one of the kids then an introduction to the ‘Every Child Is Your Child project.’ After a few ice breakers, I then shared with the precious children on the love of God. It was a very interactive period where the kids shared their understanding of the love of God and consequently, salvation. We also talked about their identity in Christ as I occasionally led them in repeating words of affirmation after me. They affirmed that they are excellent, blessed and that their future is blessed! Glory to God! In the end, all the kids repeated the prayer of salvation and I prayed and blessed them too.

 

The second session was also very interactive as my colleague and friend, Purity Muthoni, discussed on peer pressure, hygiene, health, drug abuse, challenges experienced in families such as domestic violence among other significant topics. The kids talked about the challenges they faced outside the center and the solutions they thought could minimize or eradicate those challenges. One of the solutions the kids gave was that to avoid being a victim to the issues they raised was to be born again haha glory to God!!!

We engaged in games, question and answer sessions led by our friend, Kate and last but not least, a photo session where we interacted with the kids at a more personal level.

I thank God for this great opportunity, to be a blessing to the beautiful children at the Mathare Children Development Center. I also thank the directors of the center, for having established such a COMFORTABLE HOME for those precious kids. Key to note was the discipline and courtesy displayed by the kids, not to mention, the excellence and diligence manifested; we will truly be back!

See the premises! The director, a Pastor at KAG is determined to rescue kids at Mathare Valley, whatever it takes and whatever lengths she needs to go to……She has built a very comfortable home for the beautiful kids with a 1,000 seater hall…She offers education and a feeding program to over 700 children around the Eastland area. The Mathare Child Development Center also has a boarding section where they accommodate rescued boys and girls from the slums…Again, key to note was the warmth, excellence and diligence manifested at the home. The kids were truly HOME. I was in awe of the legacy she and her husband have managed to leave for their beautiful daughters, as they have already started managing the home. I have a feeling that this won’t end here 🙂

Special thanks to our partners for making all this possible.
