BACKGROUND:

We were in Kenya serving with Mission: Moving Mountains when we became aware of the difficulties and dangers that street children face every day. At that time in 1995 there were thousands of street children roaming the streets of Kenya, most were orphaned as result of

AIDS. These children were on our hearts and we wanted to do something to help. Rosemary Wafula who is the founder and Director of the Brydges Centre had started a small drop-in centre in one of Nairobi’s slums to help street children. She named the drop in centre after us because of some things we did in Kenya to help her son. When we saw the potential of helping vulnerable street children by coming alongside Rosemary, we decided to become involved in a real and active way.
