Hearns Kidsworld – New Training Center.
With the new building complete, Hearns Kidsworld Center was now ready to take a big step forward.
To be able to increase the skills training center to accommodate 16 girls at a time, as well as continue
caring for street kids, some additional funds would be required …
Hearns Kidsworld – ‘Fashion Center’
In line with Kidsworld’s vision of growth through achievement, Hellen took the bold step of turning the
old training facility into a small ‘fashion’ shop, where the clothes that were being made whilst training,
could be displayed and in this way advertise the Center and attract buyers.
The additional revenue would be used to subsidise the new larger training center and at the same time
also boost the care for street kids.
Not only has this become a reality, but is also an example and challenge to other Kidsworld Centers,
to dream bigger and grow, founded on own effort and achievement.

– a real HOPE and a real FUTURE –
Reaching out and impacting the lives of young girls
Elizabeth Mumbi (Mudenyo)
After having been introduced to the Covenant Ministries Training, having heard Papajan teach about being fruitful, and knowing the great need amongst her own people, Elizabeth started to look for a way of personally doing something, particularly in the lives of young girls.
Through Kidsworld Projects, Covenant Ministries supported her in starting a few Skills Training centres, with the goal of training girls in skills such as Sewing and Dressmaking. It was through this closer contact with young girls, that Elizabeth saw the serious lack of sanitary training and support for girls. Seeing how that young girls were missing school for a week every month, not knowing how to help themselves, falling pregnant and open to HIV. Elizabeth knew where she needed to get involved.
Realising that more than just talks and some giveaways were needed to be
of any real help.
Her prayers were answered when she met Cathy, a Canadian who seeing what was being done at Kidsworld Centres and hearing about the sanitary issues, showed Elizabeth a way of hand making ‘reusable’ sanitary pads …

One of Kidsworld priorities is to further the quality of life in the communities
where we are active, through the development of life skills, particularly
of the underpriviledged in those communities.
This we accomplish through our shared Community Development Projects
through which we help alleviate poverty by initiating and facilitating training
projects together with local community groups & leaders.
These training projects include handicraft, trade skills, agricultural training
as well as commercial training & micro financing opportunities,
… in local areas there where our Street Kids Centers are.

In 2010 we met Hellen Mwashi the leader of the Hearns Centre in Maili Saba, a village in the Kitale district.
At that time they were in a small rented room where they were training 4 girls at a time in basic sewing skills.
We saw the opportunity to help grow their centre as well as benefiting from Hellen’s knowledge and skills.

With the growth in Skills Training opportunities it was soon obvious that we needed a bigger centre, as well as the number of Street Kids the Centre was caring for having grown to 10 kids, we erected a small building consisting of 3 rooms, which would see us through the next few years.
At the end of 2015 we had our first ‘official’ graduation for six very proud young girls, who over the past year not only learnt a life skill themselves, but whose efforts during their year of training, greatly assisted in the care of Hearns Centre’s Street Kids.

During one of our Leadership Seminars in February 2009 in Mtongwe south of Mombasa, Kenya, we were introduced to Pastor John Kennedy Ouma from Bamburi which is situated just north of Mombasa. Pastor John shared with us the work him and his wife were doing among the Street Kids in their local area, and invited us to visit them at their home and to see for ourselves what they were doing.
On our next trip to Mombasa in 2010 we visited Pastor John and his wife Judith at their home from where they were caring for Street Kids on a weekly basis through a small feeding scheme.
We decided to assist them by starting a sewing project through which young girls would be trained in sewing and dressmaking skills, and that the project will at the same time also support Centers, the Street Kids feeding project, and so the Bamburi Kidsworld Center was born…
