Jeremiah 29:11
EXPANSION INTERNATIONAL
Expansion International (E.I.) is a Christian nonprofit based in Boise, Idaho. We partner with
individuals, churches, and organizations to bring about transformation to communities in Kenya by providing health, education, and economic programs through the love of Jesus Christ.
Ndumberi is one of seven communities in Kenya where E.I. currently works. Many of our founders, partners, and volunteers have served on short and long-term development projects in this community since 2003. We have long standing relationships with the people of Ndumberi and the dream for this children’s center was birthed in the hearts of community leaders long before E.I. began working there.
HISTORY OF SERVING IN NDUMBERI:
NDUMBERI CHILDREN'S COMMUNITY CENTER
The current children's center in Ndumberi started as a feeding program to 75 children. It was supported by the local PEFA Ndumberi church as well as PEFA Mercy Ministries. Over the years children have been coming to the center to be served and the number has grown to 350. The current center has become too small to adequately meet the needs of the community. A new building will not only enable the current ministry to continue, it will expand upon that work and offer even more support to the community.
The goal of the new Ndumberi Children’s Community Center is to break cycles of poverty by providing opportunities to develop and thrive in a secure, stable, supportive, Christian environment.
PRESENT SITUATION IN NDUMBERI
At Expansion International we believe every young person has a God-given calling and a purpose to fulfill. But here in Ndumberi, young people don’t see a way out of their current situation which is robbing them of their confidence, their dreams, and their hope for their future.
The new Ndumberi Children’s Community Center specifically seeks to change these current situations and that is why this project is so important to us. We trust this center will provide young people with great opportunity and be a beacon of hope for years to come.
