CRESS Kenya is dedicated to advocating for policies and practices that uphold the rights and well-being of children. We work tirelessly to influence legislative frameworks, protecting vulnerable children through rescue operations, safe houses, legal support, and psychological counseling. We empower communities by raising awareness and providing training to parents, teachers, and local leaders, ensuring they have the knowledge and tools to safeguard children. Additionally, we offer essential services including education, healthcare, and psychosocial support, adopting a holistic approach to help children reach their full potential and thrive in a nurturing environment.
Education is a fundamental right for every child. We provide scholarships, school supplies, and learning materials to underprivileged children, ensuring they have the opportunity to attend school and achieve academic success. Our initiatives also include building and renovating schools, training teachers, and developing curricula that address the unique needs of our communities. We also run after-school programs and tutoring sessions to help students who need additional support.
Our child protection programs focus on preventing abuse and exploitation. We provide safe shelters, legal assistance, and counseling services to children in need. We work closely with law enforcement and social services to rescue children from dangerous situations and provide them with the support they need to rebuild their lives.
We conduct workshops, seminars, and community meetings to educate and engage the public on the importance of child rights. Our advocacy efforts aim to influence policy changes at both local and national levels. By partnering with local organizations, government agencies, and international bodies, we amplify our impact and drive systemic change to benefit all children in Kenya. Our community outreach programs include child rights clubs in schools and community centers, where children and adults learn about their rights and responsibilities.
We run health camps and nutrition programs to ensure children have access to essential medical care and nutritious meals, promoting their overall well-being and development. Our mobile health clinics reach remote areas, providing vaccinations, health check-ups, and treatment for common illnesses. Our nutrition programs focus on educating families about balanced diets and providing food support to those in need. We also collaborate with local health facilities to ensure children receive specialized care when necessary.
