Driving sustainable change for street-connected children in Mombasa.

Through education, protection, and opportunity, we help the most vulnerable move from survival to independence.

“There can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats it's children.”
-Nelson Mandela.

Welcome to Gap Kenya

Delivering Lasting Change for Vulnerable Children

Children in Mombasa are growing up on the streets and around the Mwakirunge garbage dump, often without the safety, education and opportunities they deserve.

Their circumstances should not determine their future.

Gap Kenya provides practical, long-term support through education, care and family-based programmes — helping children build safer, more hopeful futures.
