The Need in Ndumberi, Kenya
The small town of Ndumberi is one of eight communities in Kenya where Expansion currently works. The community has an estimated population of 22,000 and its residents have been adversely affected by social and economic problems.
The Original Ndumberi Children's Community Center
In 1995 the current children's center in Ndumberi started as a feeding program to 75 children that was supported by the local PEFA Ndumberi church as well as PEFA Mercy Ministries. Over the years additional services were added such as feeding programs and training programs. However, now with over 350 children being served the facilities have not been able to keep up with the growing needs.
The New Numberi Children's Community Center
In June 2022, Expansion began work on the new Ndumberi Children’s Community Center. The center will be a resource to help families break free of the cycle of poverty through spiritual, physical and vocational support in a safe Christian environment. Helping to provide these resources will improve the wellbeing of individuals and lead to transforming communities. Educating young people will greatly contribute to bringing families out of poverty and contribute to the development of Kenya.
About the New Center:
The Center will include the following services:
Afterschool and weekend classes for preschool, primary and high school students
Weekend events for children
Study rooms for students
Counseling for children, parents and students
Computer access and computer training classes
Other vocational training classes
Library for book resources and research
Community events
Recreational facility for student games and sports
Safe rooms for children rescued from abusive situations
Adult education in parenting and other life skills
Nutritious meals
Training on good hygiene
Spiritual training for children
The building will also house the EIA offices, helping them to reduce their operational costs.
