Ruiru Rehabilitation Centre

The Ruiru Rehabilitation Centre was estabished in 1997 as a feeding programm. Street children in Ruiru were given food once or twice a week by neighbours and church members.
Mr Kimani, a local businessman allowed them to use his land and the existing facilities as a temporary shelter. The street children moved in with their sacks and started to camp in stores on the plot. A donor bought them mattresses - and the centre had begun.
After two years of fundraising the Centre managed to buy its own land in 2006. This 4 acre big plot in Ruiru is now waiting to be developed with new facilities to house the children of Ruiru Rehabilitation Centre.

Today there are 19 girls and 39 boys living at the centre, which provides them with food, shelter, a bed. clothes and schooling as well as cultural exposure, music training and sports facilities.
