children must live

Shelter Nairobi

children's home for 130+ people


Why we help The Shelter

We were in Nairobi and saw with our own eyes the work of the Shelter from the inside. It is really cool, because it is established by Africans and vitally important for the local street children – drug addicts, crippled Maasai girls and other young victims of violence and abuse. Children are fed here, taught, protected from wild traditions and entrusted to family settings.

The Shelter format

It is optimal and in many ways self-sustaining. The Shelter is 80% subsistence farming - it feeds itself. There are apartment complexes, a school, a medical room, a kitchen garden, an apiary and an almost completed cowshed.

Benefits for kids

They have a roof. And food. And milk.
Medical care, clothing. And a hope.

Children are given education there - all four levels, life competencies and the realization that it is quite possible to live with dignity by their own labour, and it is not necessary to sniff glue.

Benefits for society

The shelter was created by the Kenyans themselves. This is almost a precedent – very useful for the country that turns the public consciousness "face" towards its own children. It privides additional jobs as well because it's not very good with work in Kenya.
