Susan Wambui - She is living in our center in Eastleigh, this is because of her attachment place in in Eastleigh and another one located down town. This makes it easier for her to move to the two location without delay of traffic. Susan came up with the idea of having a day spa for the women/mothers that live on the streets that come to the Monday program. She asked for the assistance of all the hair dressing students and their teachers.

Stephen Omondi - Has moved out of the program, he got a job at a local airport called Wilson Airstrip. They Airstrip has an Auto garage and that is where Stephen works at.

Francis Wahome - Has gotten a place of attachment, the employer wishes to take him in full time but because his papers are still being processed, he has to wait till he gets his national Identity card.

Francis Cugia - He has shown good leadership qualities and the team has put him on a trial basis in Eastlsigh as a street minister to work with Larry, Kennedy and Anthony.
Brenda Adhiambo - she still has not yet gotten her National ID...but she is looking for an attachment. She lives with her step mother. She occasionally comes into the program to help with the young children at the nursery. She is good with young kids.

Joseph Mburu - He is still working at Ibrahim Electronics, a shop that sells computer products and hardware. He recently expressed the desire to pursue a course in Graphic Design and found a college that offers this course. The college had requirements like he needed to have a secondary school certificate. So right now he has joined an evening class that will be tutoring him on the subjects done at high school level. Once he gets the high school diploma/certificate after seating the National exam, then is when he can pursue the Graphic design course.

Willis Odhiambo - He is doing great at the second largest farm that deal in cattle rearing. He reports to us that he has learnt tremendously. He has even shown Ben some new techniques on milking, Ben is so much thrilled with his expansion on knowledge of farm activities. Willis lives in Eastleigh center, this is to make is it easier for him to commute to the place his on attachment since it is located outside Nairobi city. And he also needs to get there on time.


Lucy Njoki, Eunice Wambui and Mercy Kisya are in the same hairdressing school. Some catering students; Brian Ocheing, Margaret Njeri, Sarah Aono, Paul Zakayo and Mercy Waithera, have gone for a medical check-up so as to fit the profile of the place they are to be taken in for attachment.

Please always be in constant prayer as you have been for all our exiting students. Life is a challenge and we never want it to bombard them. We always want and pray that when they leave us they get to identity a church and actively engage and participate in its growth. This is good for their spiritual growth. We are so ever excited and thrilled when we hear of their achievements, even if its as small as buying a cooking stove or cooking pots!
