Brethren Fellowship Ministries Kenya

Brethren fellowship Ministries and Kids Center is a church based affiliated program that works with vulnerable kids in Nairobi informal settlements and parts of Kakamega County where poverty has hit the county seriously. So far in Nairobi we work with over 200 hundred kids and in Kakamega we have over 150 kids. The overall of the program is to set up orphanages where kids that are vulnerable and o

rphans can be catered for fully. At BFMKC, we advocate for Community-to-Community partner relationship model. While many great organizations exist to provide individual sponsorship opportunities, we believe that holistic transformation in the world’s poorest communities occurs when one community partners with another. Through this proven model, we intend to connect Christian communities around the globe with communities of vulnerable children and their caretakers in Kenya. Our approach hopes to leverage the power of relationships to see long-term transformation occur in the lives of children and their surrounding communities. With time, these relationships are geared to empower children to survive, thrive, and succeed. A BFMKC partnership allows individuals, churches, small group, social network, or business to partner with a specific Center in Nairobi or Kakamega to provide support. The location you support becomes a virtual extension of your own community, and members of your community are able to directly sponsor individual children at one of our centers. We believe when your entire community embraces the vision to support an entire community in a developing country, the concept of relationship building moves to a whole new level. Since inception BFMKC has been supporting and intends to support kids in the following areas:
Physical Needs:Basic needs such as food, water, shelter, clothing and healthcare are the first priorities addressed when engaging with a community in need. These most basic needs are met through child sponsorship and the programs set in place by Children’s BFMKC, which vary from community to community. Emotional Needs:Orphaned and vulnerable children crave a sense of “family” and the love and care that comes with being a part of a family unit. Our survival strategy focuses on helping to meet that need with consistent caregivers and friends, and the ongoing love and support of a relationship with a sponsor community. Spiritual Needs:Christian counseling and mentoring is an important aspect of the survival strategy. Regular discipleship classes are a part of every kid we support , and the relationships formed with sponsors help place God’s value on the orphaned and vulnerable children in these communities. OUR MISSION:BFMKC exists to glorify God by releasing the potential of orphaned and vulnerable children and their communities through partnerships that cultivate holistic transformation. Our Purpose: What do we do? BFMKC engages individuals, churches and other Christian communities in long-term partnerships that:
Empower local leaders to share the Gospel, reduce poverty, and create self-sufficiency for every child. Equip partnering communities and kids to directly engage as a community in healthy initiatives to safeguard the interest of every kid. Address the complex causes of poverty, including material, spiritual, emotional, social, economic, and educational needs. Tend to the child’s holistic needs for survival, community, education, and in future employment. Transform the lives of children through a focus on sustainability, independence, and long-term self-sufficiency. Due to the power of online social networks, such as Facebook, BFMKC has set up a page Brethren Fellowship Ministries and Kids Center. This online community allows passionate people from all over the world to come together to make a difference in the lives of these amazing but vulnerable children, who simply need love and opportunity to not only survive, but thrive. When you join our BFMKC Community, you are joining a group of like-minded people who are devoted to kids care in the same region of the world as you. We share information, encourage, and mobilize each other to respond to the urgent needs of the BFMKC where your sponsored child resides. You will receive updates, prayer requests, photos, and videos on a regular basis. Additionally, you will have access to the development plan and other resources that will keep you informed on how BFMKC is implementing its vision and holistic strategies at our Center.
