Welcome Home!


God has graced us with five new faces from the streets! These students for the majority of the month have been in orientation and getting equipped for their new beginning at MITS. Everyday, the girls have been with different staff members as they show them the life of a MITS student. From dorms tours, to farm tours, to Bible studies, to practicing English, these five have successfully completed their orientation. They have their uniforms and have begun taking classes. Let’s introduce you to these wonderful girls.

Khadija Ndinda is thirteen years old from the Mathare area. She came from the Globe and Grogon base. She believes she can change at MITS without the influence from her friends on the streets. She aspires to become a pilot when she is finished with her schooling.

Teresia Nzilani is twelve years old, turning thirteen in August. She is originally from Mombasa. She comes to us from the Mutindwa base. She intends to go through the entire education process in order to be a pilot to improve her entire family’s lives.

Catherine Wanjiku is twelve years old and was born in Murang’a. She comes to us from the Mutindwa base. She wishes to be trained in hairdressing and beauty because she believes she has a talent in that trade.

Anne Wangare is thirteen years old and originally from the Kayole Soweto slum. She was on base with Teresia and Catherine in Mutindwa. She wishes to acquire the education and skills to secure a well-paying job to uplift her father’s living standards.

Zipporah Mushiba is thirteen years old and has lived many places. Her smile lights up a room and although she is quiet, she has the spirit of a survivor!

Please pray along with us as the transition period is some of the hardest times for incoming students. We are so lucky to have them!
