Our centre near Nairobi

Scotty’s Rescue/ Rehabilitation Centre

Restoring Dignity. Reviving Hope. One Woman, One Child at a Time.

A safe home and a pathway to independence for women and children experiencing homelessness, poverty, trafficking, abuse, HIV/AIDS-related vulnerability, incarceration and other difficult circumstances. Mothers and children stay together while they rebuild their lives.

Support Scotty’s Meet the centre

A revolving door

When one woman and her children move into independent living, another family in need takes their place.

No fixed time limit

Healing can’t be measured by a calendar. Women stay as long as they are actively working toward independence.

Ready before she leaves

We help each woman secure work or an income plus safe, affordable housing, so she is not returned to the streets.

Growing more self-sustaining

Water, farming, livestock, solar power and volunteers help reduce long-term dependence on donations.

Rescue.
Rehabilitate.
Empower.
Rebuild.

How your gift helps a child, step by step

Every child we reach moves through three stages, from the street to a life they can sustain.

1

Rescue and protection

Bringing children and families off the streets and into safety.

Then, rehabilitation

2

Rehabilitation and empowerment

Education, care and support that rebuild confidence and open doors.

Then, reintegration

3

Reintegration and sustainability

Helping children and families return to community and stay there.
