How you can make a difference
Partner with us to rescue a child
A survey carried out in 2018 estimated that 47,000 children are forced to live and work on the streets of Kenya. Ignored by and invisible to those who should protect them, these children are frequently physically & sexually abused, maltreated, hungry and excluded. Basic survival is a challenge and many turn to crime, substance-abuse and prostitution.
Partnering with us and to rescue a child. It costs £225 (Kshs. 33,500) to rescue and reintegrate a child with his/her family. That will enable us to trace a child’s family, reunite a child back home and carry out regular follow up visits, ensuring that children are settling back home in circumstances that are consistent with the provision of safe and effective care for the family. That usually covers a span of at least two years before we disengage with the child’s family. Our goal for 2021 is 120 children leaving the streets each month.

Why partner with TKW
- A child choosing to live on the streets is a cry for help that goes unanswered by the majority. At Tumaini Kwa Watoto we have ears, we see, and actually stop to help. Each child has a set of unique issues that drove him or her to the streets in the first place. As we relate with the child on the streets, we probe to identify the particular issue that is distressing them. There is a great correlation between family dysfunction and runaway children.
- We do not compel children to leave the streets. We become friends and advocates walking alongside them, seeking to bring out the best in them; allowing them to participate in their own change, building muscle to cope even as they face continuous challenges e.g, living with a step-parent, coping with a single mother, addictions and other challenges in life.
- We help the child to go home in spite of the difficulties involved. Together we face the challenges head on, give the family a chance to take care of their child. Facing pain head-on when they are still teenagers (our target group is 8-14 year olds, mostly boys) strengthens them for adulthood.
- We unashamedly depend on God for what we do on the streets and families. In our hearts we are on a God given mission; it not just social work. We believe we are working as God’s partners in restoring broken lives and families.
- Our rescue and restoration work targets all the facets of a child’s life – the child on the streets; their immediate family, extended family, and their community. We engage government, faith, and community leaders to support the families through their journey of restoration and reintegration. The outcome is a better environment for nurturing children.
