In Kitale, Kenya over 80% of the people living on the streets are over the age of 15. However, there are little to no services for this age group as they are disregarded by many. Milele fills this gap by specifically serving youth over the age of 15.

Street youth experience trauma, abuse, addiction, and more. Our outreach work consists of building relationships and trust with youth to find youth who are wanting services to get off the streets.

The Transitional Program is our residential program that provides a safe and healthy place for youth to detox from drugs, receive counseling from loving adults, and enjoy healthy food and a warm bed. Once these basic survival needs are met, we begin helping them uncover their potential and prepare for the next step in their journey.

We focus on each individual, their needs, and their backgrounds to determine the best care plan for the teen. Whether that be vocational school, primary education, or higher education we seek to meet the individual's needs and talents to launch them into their future with purpose and confidence.

We are dedicated to helping each student find a path that aligns to their age and their passions.

Over 80% of children in orphanages have a living parent. Since research shows children do best in families, our social workers pursue restoration of these broken relationships through individual and family counseling and consistent home visits before a child returns home.

Our staff is steadfast in their efforts to reunite families. Our social workers conduct comprehensive home tracing, advocate on behalf of the boys, and provide ongoing family support.
