We are greatly blessed to not only walk, but to put in miles on the road running.
As part of gratitude, I invite you to join in blessing someone else with our good health.
We have partnered with Nairobi Family Support Service (NFSS) a local NGO that has been working in the slums of Nairobi, Kibera, Mukuru and Dagoretti of Nairobi County to provide Community Based Rehabilitation services to children with disabilities for over 25 years.
The need is enormous. We hope to support in the following ways.

The organization helps provide aids that are required to rehabilitate the disabilities and also collaborates with government institutions like KMTC Nairobi campus to provide physiotherapy care and to equip the parents and care givers with simple therapeutic exercises, which can be done at home. The parents are also educated on causes and prevention of disabilities.
Rehabilitation of these children is expensive but critical to assist them with their developmental milestones like sitting, crawling, standing walking etc. This is where it becomes a big challenge to parents who depend on casual jobs for their livelihoods. Further the fact that the kids are in most cases totally dependent means that some of the parents cannot go out and seek any form of employment. Getting the kids to attain some level of dependence frees up the parents to go out and fend for the families. The benefit then becomes life changing.
The Identified needs are as follows
We thank you in advance and look forward to your generous support.
