Outreach in Kenya

We at The Market Street Group have always felt gratitude for the gifts and resources God has given us. Over the years we’ve talked to our clients and they overwhelmingly said they have everything they need in life and to pursue this Kenyan project.  Our current giving focus is centered in helping orphaned children in need.

Over the past three years, our clients donated more than $80,000 to help build a crisis center for orphans.  It will provide the most basic human needs, such as shelter, clean water, and food, to children whose parents have died. The clients of our practice have agreed to forego Christmas gifts from our practice and have those resources directed to these children in need. The water well is complete and we will work to deworm the orphans and those local to the center.

We’re working with In His Hands Orphans Outreach, a nonprofit that supports orphaned children around the globe, including in the U.S., Ukraine, Haiti, India and various African countries. The buildings in Kenya for the crisis center, located in a rural area about five hours from Nairobi are nearly completed.  This will house approximately 35 orphans.

The next goal is to expand it into a school and/or vocational center. In addition to investing financially in this project, we’ve decided to invest some of our time. We visited Kenya in 2023 and were able to bring suitcases of clothes for the children (St. Louis Cardinals shirt shown below). There are plans for another trip in 2025 to learn more about the place and the people that you see featured through the photographic imagery.
