Play Kenya, The Kindness Project, are thrilled to be partnering with The Children’s Department, Nakuru, in delivering influential and life changing support for the most vulnerable of families and children. There are literally THOUSANDS of children in Nakuru County alone, who live without parents.

The Kindness Project is the Kenyan branch of Play Kenya. It is a Community Based Organisation (CBO) registered in Nakuru Kenya. Our aim is to support the most vulnerable children, youths and families who have experienced complex trauma, which has impacted their lives.

This part of Play Kenya, The Kindness Project, is both needed, heart breaking and rewarding, while being challenging and life changing. The fact it exists is beyond imaginable. It truly is a part of what we do, that we carry in our hearts, and wish it wasn’t needed, but it is more than needed. Without supporting these babies and their Mummies, the simple fact is that many young children won’t live to see their third birthdays.

Play Kenya, The Kindness Project, will be opening ‘The Kindness Café’ as the Flagship Social Enterprise for Play Kenya and will be aimed at supporting young people, who live on the streets, who live in poverty and disadvantaged young and vulnerable adults who cannot access training or education, to gain worthwhile and employable skills within the culinary and hospitality world.

Play Kenya, The Kindness Project, are dedicated to supporting those who have a need, and that comes in many forms. We will continue to work alongside those who have a greater understanding of the complexities directly linked to living on the streets, and work collaboratively to change the way street families are perceived, and towards the streets being void of children living such dangerous and frightening lives.
