Street Children Program

Volunteer with Street Children in Kenya

Join us working hands and feet on the street alongside women, babies, and children who live on the streets of Kenya. This one-of-a-kind program gives you the opportunity to directly support and feed children who live, eat, and sleep on the streets and in city parks without family.

Many can be found begging in downtown city centres where they face harassment and hardship. By taking the time to help feed and get to know them, you relieve daily pressures and bring hope into their lives.

Who can join

• ✓Prepared to see the stark reality of how these children survive day to day
• ✓Able to commit to volunteering for a minimum of 4 weeks
• ✓Open-minded, non-judgmental, self-motivated, and goal-oriented
• ✓Prepared for downtown city interactions (you will always be accompanied by local staff)

Our goal

Our goal is to help these children in a sustainable way—making them feel like they matter and that they are valued people. By being with them on the street, we offer them crucial hope and support.

A major objective of BACM is building our own Rescue Centre for women, babies, and street children. We have already rescued 5 women, their babies, and 4 street boys to date, and you can be a key part of that mission!

Compassion is at the heart of this program. Helping street families see and build a brighter future is a life-changing experience for all.

Highlights

“The most valuable part of my experience was helping a young boy who lived on the streets of Nairobi called Ben. We were taking a group of homeless boys out for hot food.”
