Mission
• Reaching Out: Create fresh, inventive solutions to end homelessness.
• Touching lives: Impact positive change in street family/children’s lives.
• Going green: Advancement of environmental protection and improvement.

Programs:
• Street Children Development program: This is an educational program designed to offer street children and street connected children an enjoyable learning experience through; educational films, basic literacy and numeracy, moral values, lifetime skills, hygiene, soccer, sports and team building activities, educational trips, art and craft, performing arts, songs and dances, Basic service provision (e.g. Literacy courses, food and clothes, medical and psycho-social support) provided at street level to aid children in making informed and confident decisions about their lives, some leaving the streets and becoming integrated in residential centers or reintegrated with their families
• Reproductive Health: Second Chance Health Care Program covers a wide scope ranging from taking charge of peoples’ physical, mental, and social well being. For this particular project, we aim to teach, sensitize and address, sexuality, early pregnancies, and reproductive health issues faced by both young ladies and men between the ages of 12-25 years.
• Hygiene and Sanitation
• Medical Camp: As an outreach and recruitment exercise that we are implementing in our program, setting up Medical camps will be beneficial as this will aid in the provision of free medical treatment to families living in the street.
• Recreation: The purpose of this project is to engage and encourage children living in the streets to participate regularly, in other activities such as sports which in turn will play a role in their lives by helping them gain confidence, social connections, improved health outcomes, develop new abilities and skills, self-esteem, confidence as well as gain a sense of purpose and identity.
• Empowerment: This project involves offering specialized skills, training, and the acquisition of knowledge in particular fields, especially for the people living in the streets. This project will be of benefit to them as they will be able to earn a sustainable living and become independent.
• Bins For Bread: Bins for Bread is a project that aims to engage people living in the streets in regular cleanups and garbage collection in estates within Nairobi. The initiative will directly involve people living in the streets who in turn will be paid for their service.
• Sanitation and Valuable Recovery: The main objective of this project is to offer safe waste management practices.
