The staff, students and Board of Directors at Made in the Streets express their heartfelt thanks to loving Christians for prayers and support through the years of our existence. Our street ministry began as a work of the Eastleigh, Nairobi, congregation in 1995. After 15 years, the ministry has matured, and the Kenyan leaders now administer the program.

The Staff
The ministry has 31 ministers and volunteers who serve on the streets, with children's families, in various congregations and in the boarding program of the ministry. They range in age from 20 to 34 years old, except for the Coulstons, the Conways and John Wambu, who are a little older. Most of them have had five or more years experience in teaching Bible classes, evangelizing and leading projects. They are educated in Bible, computers, electronics, music, management, marketing, tailoring, counseling and first aid.

The Church
The Kamulu Church of Christ meets at the Kamulu property, and the attendance is about 135 in worship service, and an additional 60 children in Sunday school. They meet Sunday morning, and they have care groups that meet on Friday evening. A church also meets at the Eastleigh property, and small cell groups regularly meet at street kid bases in the Eastleigh area.

Working Together
From the beginning, the ministry has enjoyed positive contact with Kenyan government officials. When the ministry registered as Made in the Streets in 1999 with Children's Services and with the Registrar of Societies, the official relationship began. In 2001, the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Children's Office certified MITS as an official care institution for children, both to work with them on the streets and to maintain the boarding program. Following that, the Juvenile Court sent a judge to hold court at MITS, at which time he designated our boarding students as our wards. Currently the ministry works closely with the Children's Remand Center and Children's Officers to find and help street kids.
