🎉 Big cheers to Jane, one of our incredible supporters has found another way to support us. She recently shared this creative way to make a difference while out and about this holiday season! 🍹❤️ “When I’m out with my lovely friend, every 3rd drink is a ‘Rafiki Round’—soda and lime instead of alcohol. It helps me pace myself, and we donate the price of an alcoholic drink to Rafiki Mwema. The bar staff love it too, and I often get my soda and lime free!” What a fantastic way to make a night out meaningful! Could this be something you and your mates try this festive season? Whether you’re out at a party or having a quiet one at home, a Rafiki Round is a simple, fun way to support the vital work we do for children in Kenya. 🎄✨ Thank you, Jane, for your kindness and creativity—we love seeing the unique ways our supporters spread love and make a difference! 🖤 #RafikiRound #SupportRafiki #HolidayGiving

Thanks to the incredible generosity of Association Femmes d'Europe aisbl, over 100 children who live on the streets will be treated to a magical Christmas celebration this year. 💖 This special day will bring joy, laughter, and their favourite foods, including freshly prepared meat dishes, rice, bread, biscuits, and sweets. Each child will leave not only with a full belly but also with extra treats to carry with them – a small reminder that they are loved and cared for. Our team, alongside local kiosk ladies, will lovingly prepare a feast filled with everything that makes Christmas extraordinary. It’s more than a meal; it’s a moment to remind these children that they matter, that they belong, and that their Rafiki family is here for them. The images shared is from last year’s celebration, and we cannot wait to recreate the smiles and joy this Christmas. 🌟 To everyone at Femmes d’Europe, your kindness has brought light and warmth to these children’s lives. Thank you for being part of this journey with us. 🙌🏾 #RafikiMwema #RafikiMtaani #ChristmasJoy #CommunitySupport #Gratitude #FemmesdEurope

Childhood trauma alters the very structure of the brain, leaving lasting effects on emotional regulation and mental health. Studies show abused children often experience heightened stress responses, anxiety, and depression throughout their lives. 💔 At Rafiki Mwema, we refuse to let this cycle continue. With therapeutic care, nurturing environments, and consistent love, we are helping our children heal and rebuild their lives. 🖤 With your support, we are creating brighter futures, one child at a time. Join us in breaking the cycle of trauma—every child deserves the chance to thrive. 👉🏾 https://lnkd.in/ewcAgrCe #EndChildAbuse #HealingTrauma #RafikiMwema

🌿 This weekend, we opened our hearts and our home to a little three-year-old girl who has endured more pain and hardship in her short life than any child ever should. While we are grateful to provide her with safety, love, and a chance to heal, her arrival is a bittersweet reminder of the heartbreaking realities so many children face. 💔 Her story is one of unbearable challenges, but it’s also one of resilience and hope. Thanks to the brave work of our Mtaani Team, she is now with us, where she will be nurtured and supported as she begins her journey toward a brighter future. We never take joy in welcoming a child because it means they have suffered, but we remain steadfast in our mission to create a safe haven for those who need it most. Taking in children like her is only possible with the support of our incredible sponsors. If you’ve ever considered sponsoring a child, now is the time. Your support means we can continue to provide a loving home for children in desperate need. 💌 Sign up to sponsor a child here 👉🏾 https://lnkd.in/edgiA86c #RafikiMwema #ChildSponsorship #HopeAndHealing #EveryChildMatters

This stunning photo, captured by our dear friend Shawnee, brought back a wave of beautiful yet bittersweet memories. It’s a tribute to Anthony Exeter—a kind soul whose legacy continues to inspire. Thanks to Anthony’s family, Doyle Farm is now home to a basketball court dedicated to his memory. This special space has become a source of joy and healing for the children we support, echoing Anthony’s generosity and love for life (and basketball!). Every bounce of the ball, every smile on that court, is a reminder of Anthony’s enduring spirit. His impact lives on in every child who finds solace and strength here. 💛 Thank you to Anthony’s family for turning heartbreak into hope and for allowing his story to inspire a brighter future for so many. 🌍 Read more about this touching story here: https://lnkd.in/eabiiBh9 #LegacyOfLove #DoyleFarm #RafikiMwema #AnthonyExeter #HopeLivesHere
