our mission
When children experience trauma in early life their brains are altered. Our work is to remove the shame they experience and return them to the experience of innocence. To reboot the safety and love they feel in relation to the outside world so they can grow up to be balanced, loving adults, thereby breaking the cycle of abuse.

Here's how we do it.
A safe place
Our farm
Our family is huge. On our 14 acre farm in Kenya we house and therapeutically parent 70 children, and we check on a further 130 through our outreach program. We have a school on the farm and grow our own food.
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 the local courts in Kenya, so children can testify without facing their abuser.
Support
Feeding Program
Street boys and street families in Nakuru are treated like rats and live in constant fear. The Rafiki Feeding Program feeds the most vulnerable and assess injuries or illnesses on a daily basis. For many it's a lifeline.
