In the wake of Kenya’s 2007–2008 post-election violence, chaos and despair gripped the nation. Thousands of families were displaced, and countless children were left orphaned, separated, or living in internally displaced persons (IDP) camps without food, shelter, or safety. During this national crisis, Mizpah Foundation Kenya rose to the occasion, stepping in as a source of refuge and restoration. Guided by compassion and faith, the Foundation rescued children who had lost everything — giving them not just a place to stay, but a new beginning.
The Mizpah Foundation team quickly mobilized its limited resources to provide emergency shelter, food, and clothing to dozens of affected children in Nakuru County. What began as a rescue effort soon evolved into a long-term empowerment initiative. The rescued children were enrolled in school under full scholarships, covering tuition, uniforms, and educational materials all the way from primary school through to college. The Foundation didn’t just rebuild lives — it rebuilt futures, ensuring that the pain of displacement was replaced with the power of opportunity.
Over time, these young survivors became part of Mizpah’s extended family, thriving under consistent care, mentorship, and spiritual guidance. The Post-Election Violence Rescue Initiative became a blueprint for how the Foundation responds to national crises — blending immediate relief with long-term sustainability. Many of those rescued have since graduated, secured employment, and are now giving back to their communities — living proof that compassion, when put into action, creates generational change.
Mizpah Foundation expresses heartfelt gratitude to every partner, donor, and volunteer who stood with the organization during this critical time. Your support helped turn tragedy into triumph for dozens of children and families. The Foundation remains committed to maintaining its emergency response capacity and calls upon well-wishers and corporate partners to join hands in expanding these humanitarian efforts — ensuring that whenever disaster strikes, hope rises faster.
