We care for the 35 boys in our program holistically. They are fed nutritious meals, go to schools, attend church, participate in sports, etc. like any teen-ager should. Most of them are in secondary schools and board at these schools, which is the custom in Kenya. During school breaks, they come to Ahadi where their primary school "brothers" live, and are also sent to visit a relative part of the time. All boys under 18 are legally in our custody and we are registered with the Department of Children's Services, Machakos District. This is a Kenyan government agency under of the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Development.

Most of our boys are in their late teens and early twenties because they have been with us a number of years. However, we recently had an intake of 5 boys, aged 9-14.  Because of different school schedules, we seldom have all 35 boys at home at once. Here are half of them after receiving their new Ahadi Family Kenya t-shirts and getting their regulation hair shaving in preparation to go back to school.

We are also registered in the US as SCREAM--USA (Street Children Reconciliation and Assistance Ministry), a charitable institution under the provision 501(c)3. All donations made in the US through SCREAM--USA are tax-deductible.
