Our volunteer team creates gatherings and events in the Minneapolis / St. Paul area to introduce people to the mission and children of the Brydges Centre. The generous prayers and financial support that comes from supporters provides for all of the care and education of the children.

Our volunteer Events Committee hosts large gatherings at venues like TopGolf and other locations that include music, videos featuring the Centre or children, and an authentic Kenyan marketplace filled with a myriad of items for purchase.

We also support individuals, families, and corporations that would like to host their own gatherings of any size. We provide everything you need to share the mission and work of the Brydges Centre, including media, materials, gifts for sale, and even a volunteer to work directly with you from the team!

Visit

The Brydges Centre

Welcome! We’re thrilled you’re considering a visit to the Brydges Centre. This unique opportunity attracts visitors from the United States, Canada, and Europe, who come to Kenya each year to engage in meaningful ministry work with the staff and children at the Brydges Centre.

Each trip is designed to align with the individual skills and passions of team members. Whether your interest lies in teaching science, sewing, cooking, gardening, sports, or music, there’s a special role for you to play. Your talents will be greatly valued and appreciated by the children and staff at the Brydges Centre.

The trips are organized by an experienced team leader from Minnesota, who collaborates closely with each participant to ensure everyone is thoroughly prepared and equipped for an enriching cross-cultural experience. These trips typically span two weeks, including travel time. However, if you wish to extend your stay to embark on a safari adventure or explore Kenya’s coastal regions and cultural sites, the trip leader can help you plan these additional activities, ensuring your journey is memorable.

By joining us, you’ll not only contribute to the lives of the children but also immerse yourself in the vibrant culture and stunning landscapes of Kenya. We look forward to making this experience rewarding and unforgettable for you!

Support the Brydges Centre

Make a Donation

Over the last 25 years, over 650 children have been saved from darkness or death and have have been equipped to be productive Kenyan citizens with Christ as their compass for life. Your gifts and support make this possible!

We use a nonprofit giving platform called Zeffy that does not charge the Brydges Centre any fees so every dollar can go to the children. When you make a gift, Zeffy will ask for an optional contribution to their organization to make this possible. You are not required to make a contribution to Zeffy.
