In Bahati (a massive slum area within Kenya's largest city), the Missionary Sisters have established a child rescue mission in an effort to help save the lives of these little ones before more of them die. "The boys and girls here are poorer than anyone could possibly imagine," Sr. Margaret (director of the shelter) explains. "Many of the children were found at the city dump -- digging for something to eat. Once we see them there, our Sisters tell the children to come here. Once they are here, we offer them a hot meal as well as provide them medical care if they are in need."
"We have also set up a school here in Bahati," she continues. "Our hope is to educate the children and help them develop skills so that as they grow older, they will have some trade that will help them find employment."

DYLAN
The above boy resides with his brother, his sister and his widowed mother who is jobless and relies on washing clothes for people in Kinyago slums. He is in our nursery school in pre-primary one class. Early this year after the opening of school he lost his father through a road accident. The father who was the bread winner to the family and his death left a very big gap. This is because Dylan’s mother earns a little money from washing clothes and cannot be able to meet the basic needs of her three children and hence need assistance towards their school fees payment.
The boy is a bright and if any assistance is given to him, he can be a plight of the family.
