Rafiki Mwema at the 2026 RICS Conference

Our sincere thanks to RICS for this opportunity to share the work of Rafiki Mwema with conference attendees and to shine a light on the healing journey of children who have experienced deep trauma and abuse.

Thank you for standing with us

We are deeply honoured to be the charity partner for this year’s RICS Conference.

Our sincere thanks to RICS for this opportunity to share the work of Rafiki Mwema with conference attendees and to shine a light on the healing journey of children who have experienced deep trauma and abuse. We are grateful for the opportunity to be part of this important event and to connect with individuals and organisations who care about making a meaningful difference.

We also want to extend our heartfelt thanks to CCR Engineered for Success for their ongoing support, advocacy, and partnership. CCR has stood beside Rafiki Mwema in a number of meaningful ways, and we are incredibly grateful for their belief in our work and their commitment to helping children heal.

Who we are

Rafiki Mwema exists to provide safety, therapeutic care, and long-term support for children in Kenya who have experienced trauma, abuse, and neglect.

This work is both deeply needed and deeply personal. Every child deserves to feel safe. Every child deserves the opportunity to heal. Every child deserves hope for the future.

Our work is centred around helping children move from crisis and trauma toward healing and hope.

Through trauma-informed care, therapy, safe housing, education, and consistent support, we walk alongside children as they begin to rebuild their lives.

Why this matters

The children we support have often experienced significant harm at a very young age. Healing from trauma takes time, specialised care, and a safe environment where trust can be rebuilt.

At Rafiki Mwema, we are committed to providing that care through a model that is relational, therapeutic, and child-centred.

Our aim is not only to meet immediate needs, but to support long-term healing and restoration.

Healing does not happen in isolation. Where it is safe to do so, we work alongside families and the wider community to support each child’s journey back to a place they can call home.

You don’t have to do everything. But everyone in this room has one door they can open, one person they can introduce, one skill they can offer, or one gift they can give.
