Why we began?

Tassia is a slum in Nairobi aggravated with families living in poverty. People here live in immerse internal strain, creating too high social and economic problem and dependency ratio. The covid-19 pandemic hit families and children the hardest. Many families lost their only means of livelihood and many children were forced out of school. The poverty level soared leaving children without access to education, proper housing, sanitation, water, food and more.

Adolescent girls, single mothers and even widows live at a constant risk due to increased levels of gender based discrimination and sexual abuse and exploitation. Early marriages, early pregnancies and drug abuse have become rampant and threaten constantly to destroy any hope left in the community.

This provoked us to start Glory Care Foundation. We chose to start where we are, do what we could and use what we had to make a difference. We aim to give hope to the hopeless to the community of Tassia, surrounding areas and as far as we can reach. We aim to offer basic needs, formal and non-formal education to these children, vocational training for the youth, widows and single parents, Life-skill training  post gender based violence support, sexual and reproductive health sensitization and more, in order to give people the hope for bright future. All these under the Love of Christ as our way of service. Demonstrating Love and Faith.

 

Acts 20:35   “In everything I did, I showed you that this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus Himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive”‘
