How the Brydges Centre Started...

In the 1990's the Kenyan civil society and government were attempting to develop strategies to counteract the problems related to the increased number of children living on the street.  Mrs. Rosemary Eve Wafula established the organization in 1995 because she saw the need to support the growing number of Kenyan street children by offering spiritual guidance and meals.

More people saw the vision to help the children, so the centre was established to increase the support to the children in a more meaningful and comprehensive way.  Soon after, it was apparent that there was a need for facilities due to the increase in number of children needing help.  

Currently the centre supports 135 children who are orphaned, destitute, abandoned, and abused with the objective to provide shelter, food, education, counseling, moral rehabilitation, health care and clothing.  Another objective is to provide support for childrens rights activities around the country.
