Shelter WorksChildren belong in families.
Shelter is a last resort. Our first priority is always prevention — strengthening families so children never need to leave home.
Support Shelter Works
Your gift keeps children safe and families together.
Prevention & Family Stabilization
Community outreach, home visits, feeding programs, and parenting education reduce the stress that drives family breakdown before it happens. Our prevention work is the first and most important line of defense — keeping children in the families that love them.
Women’s Economic Empowerment
Skills training and livelihood support for caregivers addresses one of the biggest drivers of family breakdown: economic insecurity. When mothers have the tools to support their families, children stay home.
Temporary Shelter Services
When children need immediate safety, we provide a secure home at the Miale ya Tumaini Child Protection Center — with nutrition, medical care, counseling, and continued education while we plan for each child’s long-term future.
Family Reunification
Safe family tracing, reunification, and post-placement follow-up ensure children return to — and stay in — stable family environments. We don’t consider our work done until a child is home and thriving.
“For the first time in my life, I have a place that feels like home. This isn’t just shelter—it’s where I found hope again and realized my dreams matter.”
— Nicholas (17-year-old boy)
