Nairobi, Kenya ยท Est. January 19, 2021
Embrace Centre Nairobi
A safe place in Kenya's capital where street-connected boys are welcomed into residential care, rehabilitation, discipleship, and a carefully supported journey home.
About the Centre
Safety, stability, care, and hope in Christ
Programs at the Centre provide boys with safety, stability, care, and the opportunity to rediscover direction and hope for their future in Christ.
The Nairobi Centre extends the same Gospel-centred Embrace model into Kenya's capital. Boys receive a safe place to stay, daily routines, personal care, counselling, learning support, spiritual encouragement, and preparation for reintegration with family whenever it is wise and possible.
The work is both practical and personal. Staff know each boy by name, listen to his story, trace family members, visit schools and homes, and continue follow-up after a boy returns to his community.

The everyday work of healing and growth
Rehabilitation at Embrace is not one programme. It is a rhythm of care that addresses a boy's body, mind, relationships, faith, and readiness for life back home.
Remedial Academic Support
Boys rebuild confidence, fill educational gaps, and prepare for successful learning when they return home and to school.
Biblical Counselling
Personal counselling helps boys process pain, conflict, habits, and past experiences in the light of Scripture.
Discipleship
The Gospel is shared through daily rhythms, prayer, teaching, and mentoring as boys are encouraged to know Christ personally.
Life Skills
Daily responsibilities and practical training help boys build character, habits, and readiness for life back in family and community.
Games, Sports and Activities
Play, teamwork, crafts, and activities help boys build healthy relationships, strengthen confidence, and discover their gifts.
Reintegration pathway
Nairobi care is always pointed toward home
The Centre is a place of safety, but the long-term goal is not institutional life. Whenever possible, Embrace works toward family reconciliation, school stability, church or community support, and continued follow-up after reintegration.
