Sunday 25th July, students from United States
International University (USIU) visited our family.
They wanted to encourage and advise the children, but
also brought sodas, biscuits and food stuff.
Thanks! And hearty welcome back! :-) See

Mema
Maisha Mema Child Sponsorship Program
runs under Maisha Mema Ltd. (est.
2008, orig. founded as a trust fund in Jan 1999).
Maisha Mema’s MOTTO is:
”Join
us to make a positive change in a child’s life”.
Maisha Mema’s VISION is
”To
create a conducive environment for the children in the
program through learning and activities so that they
will be brought up to be useful citizens of Kenya in
terms of getting an education and a job”.
Maisha Mema’s MISSION is
"To
reach children, youth and their guardians from the
Kenyan slums and urban areas including street children
with the Gospel of Jesus Christ by providing food,
shelter, school, medical care, or any of these, and
promoting physical, emotional and spiritual well-being
through various activities".
Maisha Mema’s CORE VALUES are:
”Integrity,
integrity, integrity…”
In March 2007, we also got an additional registration as
Maisha Mema Children's
Home by the Ministry of Home Affairs.
We got a new playground in Clubhouse in 2009.
Now the children have much more space to play games.
Also notice the new building in the background with
classroom downstairs and library and office for the
social worker upstairs.
Thanks to those who contributed to this!

What we do may seem like scooping teaspoons of water
from the ocean of hopelessness, but it means everything
for the children who are getting a chance in life! This is why it is so important!
Marianne and Jonny were on national TV in Kenya Saturday
18th July 2009! See it
here.
Judith got married to Makarios on
Saturday 6th February 2010. Marianne and Jonny
were asked to step in as parents for Judith. We
felt privileged to do so! So here are our lovely
daughter and her handsome husband just coming out of
church! :-)

Any sound parents are proud of their
children. So are we! Only we have 27 of them we live
with and another 200 we are responsible for. Each of
them is unique. Each of them is having his or her
specific needs. In Maisha Mema we try focusing on the
individual child, because we believe they can develop in
the best way then. Thank you for stretching out
your hand towards these children and taking part in
bringing up these children to have a share in Kenya’s
future! In doing so, we also hope you will feel richly
blessed!
