Yatta Women's Center
Rescuing Mothers
The Yatta Women’s Center is a residential facility dedicated to the rescue of young mothers and their babies from a life of abuse and abandonment. Many of the young women have been victims of sex trafficking, rape, or even incest. Their stories are both horrific and heartbreaking. Because of the negative circumstances surrounding their pregnancies, many of the girls must learn how to even love their own babies.
About the Yatta Women's Center
Our Yatta Women’s Center can hold up to 200 young moms and their babies. These young girls are rescued from across Kenya. Mully Children’s Family provides a safe living environment as well as physiological and spiritual support.
But the help does not stop there. MCF also provides a two-year vocational training program to equip these young mothers to care for themselves and for their children upon completion of their training. The training focuses on tailoring, cosmetology, weaving, and cooking.
While the mothers are in training classes, MCF offers childcare for their babies and healthcare when they get sick.
All We Do
CARING FOR ORPHANS
Caring for over 4900 children in need every day.
MCF has two large homes and four community centers caring for over 4900 orphaned, abandoned, and vulnerable children. Children are given physical necessities, including food, clothing, and shelter. We also give them emotional and spiritual support, including mentoring, educational opportunities, counseling, and—most of all—love.
RESCUING YOUNG MOTHERS & THEIR CHILDREN
Helping mothers and their children escape the streets.
Our Yatta Women’s Women’s center rescues young mothers from abuse and saves them from a life of prostitution or crushing poverty after being abandoned or widowed. The center provides childcare, education, and vocational training to teach women skills they can use to support themselves and their families.
EDUCATION & VOCATIONAL TRAINING
Providing opportunities for education and job training.
MCF operates five preschools, four secondary schools, and one vocational center to help children learn and provide for their future. We encourage girls to attend school and provide feminine hygiene products so they don’t have to miss extra days. We also provide scholarships for higher education, so students can expand their horizons.
MEDICAL & DENTAL CARE
Offering free medical and dental care to children and adults.
MCF enables vulnerable children and area communities to access preventive diagnostic healthcare services through the MCF Ndalani and MCF Yatta medical centers. The medical and dental care is provided by short term mission teams from the US and Canada who collaborate with in country healthcare professionals. In 2017 alone over 14,000 people from the area communities received free medical care from MCF’s outreach ministry.
SELF-SUSTAINABILITY PROJECTS
Providing opportunities for education and job training.
To ensure a solid future for Mully Children’s Family, we grow 90% of what the children eat. Additionally, we are able to care for more children with the income produced by these projects. Our current projects include horticulture, poultry farming, dairy production, and fish farming. These products provide additional job opportunities for the community and vocational training for children. We are a major employer of women in the community.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION
Planning for the future and creating beauty through conservation and tree-planting.
To create a healthy environment for all, MCF provides area schools hands-on training in tree conservation and climate change. And every visitor to our facility plants a tree. Over the last three decades, Mully Children’s Family has planted hundreds of thousands of trees, turning desolate areas into beautiful, productive spaces.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Reaching out to our neighbors through ministry and education.
We never want our charity to stop at the borders of our homes. So we reach out to the community and help where we can. We reach out to area prisons to bring the word of God and encouragement. We have youth leadership and mentorship programs. And our free medical and dental care is available to members of our communities.
ADVOCACY
Ensuring a brighter future by partnering with other local organizations.
We provide education to local law enforcement agencies about identifying child abuse and understanding human rights. We also create more access to justice for children by partnering with other children’s programs, targeting the police force, the courts, and other relevant networks, to create greater protections for children in need.
DISASTER RELIEF
Helping our neighbors by providing necessities during natural disasters.
At Mully Children’s Family, we follow the example of Christ to care for our neighbors. We provide clean water, food, and medical care to communities during times of drought, civil unresting, flooding, and other disasters.
