Impact Highlights: June - October 2025

Transition Home & Child Protection Program

The Child Protection and Transition Teams continued to work tirelessly to safeguard vulnerable children as Simama services were in high demand. Currently we have 50 kids at the transition homes who are under care and protection of the Simama Project. During this period, local government and community referrals, led to the rescue of six children from unsafe environments who have been placed at our transition homes for care and protection. Also during this period, two children were successfully reintegrated back into loving and caring families after spending time at one of our transition homes.

Education Sponsorship Program

Simama was founded with the goal of increasing educational sponsorships for children in need and we are proud to share that 240 students currently benefit from our sponsorship programs. Through consistent mentorship, school visits and academic support, we ensure that every child under our care not only stays in school but thrives academically, emotionally and socially.

Outreach & Life Skills Empowerment Program

Simama’s impact on the Nanyuki community continues to grow as evidenced by the demand for our School Outreach Program which provides children with critical life and social skills to be successful. This quarter, we successfully conducted 12 sessions, engaging 1,114 participants in local schools covering topics such as self-esteem, time management, dealing with peer pressure, general mental health, relationships and dating/sex, and anonymous open questions-and-answer sessions. These sessions are valued by local schools and spark meaningful conversations and empower young people with knowledge and confidence to make informed choices for their future.

Youth Transition Program

The transition program continues to equip our youth with skills for independence and employability with a focus on ensuring Simama students are well-equipped for success beyond the program. During this quarter, 22 students participated in:

●     Career Guidance Sessions to help them map their future paths

●     First Aid Training to build emergency response skills

●     Computer Skills Classes to enhance digital literacy

●     Internship Placement Process to provide hands-on experience in various fields
