PROGRAMS: HOW WE DO WHAT WE DO
-
Community walkthroughs and home visits
To love the community well, we have to know it! Volunteers join to get to know our Kawangware neighbors and their needs. We create friendships and help where we can.
-
Mentoring and small groups
On Tuesdays & Fridays, the mentors meet with the street youth for group counseling, Bible study & a meal. Games, crafts & music are also typically involved! Additionally, every Sunday, Kawangware Lutheran Church welcomes the community for tea & a special worship service led by the mentors.
-
Changemakers (scholarships and tutoring)
Education is a major step toward change. Help street youth go back to school through the Street Scholar Fund! Scholarships provide education, housing, meals, and all school supplies including uniforms. Additionally, youth are partnered with a team member to walk out the journey. All of this happens for $100 a month! Become a monthly donor in any amount to see more street youth in school.
-
Recovery and family reunification
Drug use and being away from home are two significant challenges that street kids face. When we first start working with kids, we work to empower them to overcome their drug addiction and help to reunite them with their families when appropriate.
-
Velocity (after school programs)
Our after-school program, Velocity, works with local schools to provide tutoring and mentorship to their students. This allows us to further work with the local community.
-
Church Youth Group
Every Sunday our staff and volunteers put on a pre-church gathering for street kids where they sing, receive tea and bread, and hear a short message.
