Re-Integration

Transforming Street Lives Daily

At the heart of Zero Street Child Foundation’s mission is the powerful belief that every child deserves a place to call home and a community to belong to. Our Re-Integration Program is a cornerstone of this mission—focused on reuniting rescued street children and families with their relatives and reintegrating them into society with dignity and support. Through a careful, compassionate process involving counseling, rehabilitation, and community engagement, we work to restore broken family ties and create stable, nurturing environments where transformation can truly take place. Re-integration involves far more than just physical relocation. Many of the individuals we work with have faced years of trauma, addiction, and rejection. We walk with them through healing, provide vocational training, ensure access to education, and often facilitate land reclamation or housing support where needed. A remarkable example is the case of six brothers from Mathare, who after years of hardship, were successfully reintegrated into their rural home and supported with agricultural projects for sustainable living. This program is made possible by the generosity of our partners and well-wishers. With every contribution, we are able to bring families back together, reduce homelessness, and offer renewed purpose to those society often forgets.

The 6 Brothers

Six brothers, orphaned at a young age, were left to fend for themselves on the harsh streets of Mathare after losing their parents and being rejected by extended family. The youngest was only one year old. Over the years, they battled addiction, poverty, and homelessness—many starting families while still living on the streets. With the intervention of Zero Street Child Foundation, they underwent rehabilitation and were empowered to reclaim their late father’s land in Murang’a. The Foundation supported them in resettlement and launched agriculture projects to sustain their families. Today, they live with dignity, stability, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Jacinta’s story is one of heartbreak and hope. Born on the cold streets of Meru to a teenage mother with no support, her earliest days were spent in struggle and survival. With nowhere to turn, they eventually found themselves on the unforgiving streets of Nairobi, living each day by begging from strangers. Life offered no safety, no comfort—just constant uncertainty. When the Zero Street Child Foundation found them, both mother and child were clinging to a fragile existence. Today, Jacinta is safe at our center, her mother undergoing rehabilitation. This bright young girl now dreams of soaring beyond her past—to become a pilot.
