Trans-Nzoia County
A community-based organization standing with vulnerable children and youth.
Since 1992, Child Rescue Kenya has walked alongside children and young people facing life on the streets, abuse, or extreme poverty. We restore safety, reconnect children with their families where possible, and build long-term pathways to independence.
Every child deserves a safe home, access to education, and the chance to reach their full potential. Our teams combine social work, counseling, education support, and vocational training to create lasting change.
Everyday moments of safety, play, and new beginnings.
From first meetings on the streets of Kitale to children returning home and young people gaining new skills, these are the kinds of moments your support makes possible.
Practical support that restores hope and builds skills.
From street outreach to skills training, our programmes meet young people where they are and walk with them toward a stable, independent life. Our flagship initiative, Ujuzi kwa Vijana, prepares youth for dignified work and independent living.
