Community Outreach

Women Empowerment Program

Lilly among thorns is a group comprising of young mothers who mostly come from Kibera slum. This group consists mostly of young ladies aged 15 to 26. The group mainly focuses on empowering them with necessary skills to fend for themselves and keep their lives going even after having children.
The programs revolve around literacy, spiritual, physical, emotional and financial growth, capacity building.
The ladies learn skills like cooking, pedicure and manicure, doing makeup, sewing, making jewelry among other things.
Upon completion of the program, these beautiful ladies are awarded certificates and sent back to their communities to make a difference with their learned creative skills.

Community Food Relief

The tough economic situation has affected most people in the slums and they have been struggling to make ends meet resulting to their families sleeping hungry. Since the pandemic, we have been constantly providing foodstuffs and basic necessities like rice, maize, beans, bar soap, cooking oil, sugar and salt. We also provide assistance in terms of rent and hospital bills whenever there is need. We have experienced tremendous provision through this and we thank God we can be a part of this blessing.

Art Centre

Art Waves Empowerment Media &I nspiration center (AWEMI) is a ministry in Kenya that works to empower youth by creating self-sustaining opportunities through media, trades, and arts. We provide opportunities to gain life skills, develop healthy creative outlets, provide meals as well as evangelize to the youth of Kibera community.
Our programs include:
Art programs: Due to insufficient resources and poverty, art training is not really emphasized. We have introduced drama/theatre activities, music, poetry, drawing and choreography. It has boosted confidence as well as encouraged the growth and nurturing of the gifting’s and talents of the students of Savior king academy.

E- Empowerment programs: We aim to empower youth through providing skill-based-training through a variety of different programs. Our current program in this area is focused on supporting a group of young mothers in Kibera. We are providing training opportunities for them to learn self-sustaining skills such as tailoring, baking, hair dressing, and soap making. We also support them with some basic needs like food, clothing, and diapers.
We are hoping to be able to expand the empowerment program but are in need of equipment to do so. Some of the equipment we are looking for includes camera gear, a musical keyboard, and some speakers.
M- Media program:
In a world where media is a constant, we want to empower youth to make healthy choices about their behaviour around technology while also teaching them to create a positive digital footprint. In this program we aim to teach and equip the youth with videography, photography, communication and journalism skills and encourage them to use these skills to promote positive messages.
I-Inspiration program: Through this program we offer meaningful experiences to people in the community that they may not have access to in order to motivate and inspire them. These unique experiences are important in developing elements of our community. Some examples of the things we discuss and want the youth to be involved in, include: working life, arts and culture, police and criminal justice, community and environment, as well as personal health and wellbeing.

Heavenly Day Care

As parents strive to make ends meet while looking for odd jobs in the slums; the kids have been forced to take care of themselves at such a young age. This has made them become vulnerable and exposed. Heavenly day care is thus a place where we allow kids to be kids. It’s a safe environment where kids are well taken care of and given attention which they lack.
Some of the kids are malnourished and our day care ensures they receive a balanced and nutritious diet leading to healthy bones and development.

Soccer Ministry

We are currently working on an upcoming soccer team in the slums. Our vision is to promote talent and eradicate crime as the locals won’t be idle. We aim to connect with these young men & women and see their lives bear fruit. This is also a great evangelism tool that we’re going to use to make a difference.
