ACTIVITIES

CHILDRENS RESPITE CENTER

Parents who have children with facing with disabilities or and mental illness bring their kids to the center. Our staff teach them to sing, dance, draw, tell stories, do recreational arts. These activities are of great service to the children and the community, while giving respect to those children who are sometimes mistreated because they are considered outcasts.

RESEARCH AND DOCUMENTATION CENTER
Locals may come to the center to read and borrow books which we download from the internet. The books are mainly on culture and arts, mental health and arts mobility. We intend to be the best reference center on arts and mental health in Kenya with state-of the art equipment and information.
