Sunshine Rehabilitation Centre

In 2004 we were confronted by the sight of 50 hungry street boys in Naivasha, Kenya. One boy named Julius asked us what we could do to help them. Working with a local partner we built the Sunshine Rehabilitation Centre which takes children off the streets, arranges education or training and helps them into work.
Same boy but different! Joseph Karanja spent many of his early years on the streets. The Sunshine Rehabilitation Centre has transformed his life and he now earns a living as a tailor.
Orphaned at the age of 7, Joseph ran away to the streets where he scavenged for food from the rubbish tip at the back of a small hotel. Footsteps took him into the Sunshine Home in 2004, and helped him to take a tailoring training course at the Naivasha Polytechnic.
Now has a job and is doing so well that he is saving up to start his own small business, as well as putting aside money to help his elderly grandmother.
Joseph is just one of thousands who need to be helped off the streets. Could you afford a small monthly donation to give a street boy a hope and a future?
