Who we are

Kiatine WayMakers Foundation is a Christian, non-profit and non-partisan organization based in Kiatine, Kitui County. We begin with communities in Kitui and remain open to serving other parts of Kenya as our work grows.

Our approach is holistic. A child needs more than school fees. They also need protection, healthcare, good nutrition, emotional support and a safe place to grow. Families need more than short-term help. They also need skills, income and resilience.

Demonstrating God's love through practical service

To demonstrate the love of God through practical service by nurturing, protecting, caring for, educating, equipping and empowering orphans, vulnerable children, young people and disadvantaged families.

A generation with hope and purpose

To raise a generation of children and young people who live with dignity, hope, faith, knowledge, character, purpose and the opportunity to realize their God-given potential.

Faith that serves

We are founded on the Christian faith and show it mainly through the way we serve. We encourage prayer, mentorship, moral development and spiritual encouragement.

Every beneficiary's dignity and rights are respected: essential help is never denied because someone does not take part in religious activities, and it is never used to pressure anyone into them.
