Doyle Farm
Doyle Farm is a 14 acre sanctuary where children heal, grow, and thrive. It’s a working farm with crops and animals to feed our huge family, with surplus being sold at the markets or used for Rafiki Mtaani.
The incredibly generous Doyle’s helped buy the farm in 2015 and since then it’s been continously expanded with additional purpose-built houses and improved infrastructure thanks to our supporters and ambassadors and many, many fundraisers!

Nutrition & Support
Rafiki Mtaani
We are incredibly proud of our Mtaani program which started as an initiative by the children on the farm wanting to make sure their peers living on the street in Nakuru got fed during the Covid pandemic.
It’s grown to be so much more than a meal. It’s a lifeline for many boys and their families where they can access showers, support with injuries and illness, engage in community building activities such as soccer and classes in various subjects.
Outreach & Education
Community
We work with the community to raise awareness and educate on social issues. One of our proudest achievements is installing video links in courts in Kenya, so children can testify without facing their abuser.
Rafiki Mwema outreach staff regularly visit schools and communities to make sure students, parents and teachers know their rights and what to do if they notice red flags or suspected abuse. It’s uncomfortable work but incredibly rewarding and effective.
