NPC Children Centre, a project of Christ is The Answer Ministries

Introduction 

The Centre story goes way back to 1993 when one ordinary afternoon, the then Senior Pastor at NPC Valley Road, Rev. Dennis White, drove into the church compound, his car full of street urchins who he had collected from  a hideout (base as they call it) near The Nairobi Serena Hotel.  That marked the beginning of a feeding program/soup kitchen. Thereafter children came every day, took a bath and fed and after a while the staff started teaching them the word of God after which they went back home or to the streets. They also started receiving a dinner pack (foodstuff) which they carried home to share with the rest of the family. Soon enough, word went round and the numbers kept growing every day. The church integrated the program in its funds so that the children would not lack anything. A cook and a teacher were employed to take care of the children.

The feeding program had continued for about one and half years when the staff noticed there was a problem. The children got new clothes every day they never came wearing what they had received the previous day, and the dinner packs too, were not getting home, items were being sold to innocent buyers because the children preferred to have money in their pockets.

The Centre

NPC Children Centre is located 47 kilometers away from Nairobi city centre, just a few miles away from Kiserian town in Kajiado district. It was established in 1995. By then it had become apparent that for any meaningful transformation to be realized, the children had to be removed from the all so familiar city centre to a place far away. The Church Administration purchased a 50 acres piece of land and put up a proper rehabilitation centre. On December 15th 1995, the first group was re-located to the new premises. Intense rehabilitation commenced immediately and over 10 years down the road the passion is the same if not stronger. The centre houses street children, orphans and other vulnerable children, and has a current capacity of 192 boys and girls.
