Child rescue Kenya - Birunda Village Community Project
N.B Kitale Rafiki doesn't directly raise funds for BVCP but if volunteers choose to spend time there then a small donation is made or resources are given. www.childrescuekenya.org/ -They do great work so please support them and find out more.
CRK first opened in 2001 on land donated by the Trans Nzioa County Council. Birunda wanted to focus it's attention on rehabilitation and short-term transitional childcare. the Rescue Centre is able to ensure that fewer children arrive on the streets, those that do arrive are offered protection and care before they become hard core or addicted to glue.
Birunda Rescue Centre has seen upwards of 1000 children making use of its facilities. Many of these are assisted by the wonderful work of the centre and are rehabilitated and most have the opportunity to be reunited with close or extended family, following the Kenyan Governments rule that every child deserves a family.
Kitale Rafiki was first introduced to the project and the fantastic work they do, in 2006, when Helen Mayer took founder Andy Dean to visit a few local projects. Andy continued to visit when he could whilst working at Birunda Primary School and Unit.
In 2010 a group of five volunteers spent a week at the Rescue Centre taking with them a wealth of resources and activates. The whole centre really enjoyed their stay and they produced some wonderful art work.
Kitale Rafiki hopes to continue to support the centre whenever possible. The project has achieved such wonderful results and continues to assist the vulnerable children of Kitale.
