The Family is a dedicated community of over 30 members (and counting) who are committed to giving monthly to support our on-going mission.
The Milele family wouldn't be complete without this team! Join today to help end the destructive cycle that has trapped street children for generations. Your monthly donation is the cornerstone for our programs to educate, transform, and reintegrate.
Students have unique needs. Milele works toward solutions that fit, whether the answer is university, trade school, or an apprenticeship.
Lasting change begins on the inside, which is why Milele Home connects students to professional counseling and spiritual mentors.
Kids need families. Your monthly support will help families reunite and form strong bonds.
We are so excited to launch a transitional program for teens and youths in Kitale. We need your help to make it happen!
The transitional program is intended to help teenage and young adults holistically transition from the streets to the Milele program. This transitional program will provide a safe and secure place for youth to go during the day. They will receive counseling services, life skills training, basic education, access to career services, discipleship, and trauma care. This three month program will allow a youth from the street to receive the necessary skills and counseling needed before returning to their communities, the school system, or a job. The goal is to provide a program that sets each participant up to succeed outside the streets. Once a student passes the transitional program they will be a supported student through Milele Home!
In Kitale, nearly 80% of students living on the streets are above the age of 15. When a child gets older they have far fewer opportunities to escape the streets. The physical abuse, substance abuse, and emotional toll the street takes on children is detrimental. Unfortunately, the reality of life for older street youths often times leads to death. We believe youths have the ability to thrive if given the resources and care intended for their age.
Our goal is to launch the first three month long pilot program by the end of 2020. In the meantime we are searching for locations, building relationships with street youths, and developing curriculum.
