About The Founder

"God's wisdom has given me a field like a platform to do something good with children more confused than informed who deal with and survive a living hell on the streets." Anne Wanjugu, 1995

The late Kenyan actress, Anne Wanjugu, captured the natural talents of 23 street children and their creative potential with their first performance before a capacity audience of United Nations officials in Nairobi's national theatre on the eve of 12 July 1994. Receiving a standing ovation, the children who survived by scavenging through rubbish heaps, picking pockets, snatching handbags and necklaces, prostituting themselves and sniffing glue, went on to perform drama, dance, taekwondo, mime, acrobatics and song for eager audiences throughout Kenya and Germany, Thailand, Zimbabwe and Zanzibar. 

Anne's strong spiritual convictions and unusual oratory skills were sorely missed when she passed away in April of 2002. To quote the priest who spoke at her funeral
"Anne understood that the role of the theatre, the blessing bestowed by the players is to bring clarity to the ambiguous situations that we human beings find ourselves in.....we are living in a mad time when we see that the children we have brought into the world do not find the comfort, the support, the encouragement, the love and even the daily bread that god in his goodness wants to provide for them......"

God continues to care for his children. 
With the help of generous benefactors and under the surveillance of a dedicated board and the able leadership of Japheth Njenga  and his staff-- over 200 former street children are provided with food, shelter, clothing, education, health care and stage training in the sprawling dusty slum of Kangemi, 12 kilometers from the city centre on the Nairobi-Nakuru highway.
