The Saturday program at Mathare Community Outreach begins by focusing on the spiritual development of the children. It starts with devotions and worship and is followed by 30 minutes of small group Bible study.
For the children who have accepted Christ as their Savior, the center staff conduct a discipleship class which occurs during the Bible study.
In addition to the spiritual development of the children, the center has programs to address the physical, social and economic needs of the children.
The key factor in creating a stable economic future for the children is education; education is the key.
But beyond focusing on excellence in school, the center staff help identify and develop the talents of the children, musically and artistically, so they have even greater opportunities to succeed.
The center has a cooking program, choir and music program and drama team and works with the children to develop their public speaking abilities.
Here’s a sample of what the kids are producing.

What a beautiful song and what beautiful voices! I just sponsored a child in Kenya and I went searching for information about where she lives. Thank you for sharing this moving video. It is so good to hear the pure voices and connect them with the pictures that I’ve received. It helps me to get the connection with my child’s home. Thank you for the good work!
Charity,
The song is called Adhi e Dala Malo, which means Am Going Home on High.
It’s sung in the language of the Luo people.
Adhi e dala malo
Am going home on high
Dala gi yesu Ruodha
The home of Christ my Lord
Dala mar auma
The home of splendour
Tinga malo adhi anee dala
Lift me up, so I may see my home
Neuru achako achako wuoth madhi ka wuonwa
I have began, began this journey to the father
Gimaneno ndalo mabiro piny ni rumo
I realise that this world is soon ending
Neuru achako achako wuoth ma dhi ka wuonwa
See I have began this journey to the father
Gimaneno ndalo mabiro piny dong’ gunda
I realize this world will soon be uninhabited
Adhi e dala malo
Am going home on high
Dala gi yesu Ruodha
The home of Christ my Lord
Dala mar auma
The home of splendour
Tinga malo adhi anee dala
Lift me up, so I may see my home
Tinga malo tinga
Lift me up lift me
Tinga malo tinga
Lift me up lift me
Tinga malo tinga
Lift me up lift me
Tera adhi anee dala
Take me to see home
Wach ni awinjo
I hear this message
Wach no aneno komaka gi wuoro
This message feels me with awe
Omaka gi wuoro
Feels me with awe
Gimaneno ndalo mabiro piny ni rumo
I perceive this world is ending soon
Wach ni awinjo
I hear this message
Wach ni aneno komaka gi wuoro
This message feels me with awe
Gimaneno ndalo mabiro piny dong’ gunda
I realize this world will soon be uninhabited
Is it possible for you to post the lyrics to that absolutely beautiful song? Thanks!!
Beautiful song to hear, love the pictures and blessed to see the childrens talent.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for posting these wonderful examples of the children’s and young peoples’ talent! I keep coming back to see and hear them again! We sponsor a child in one of the other Mathare projects, and these posts will most likely be the closest we will ever come to visiting there. I have been sitting here at my computer, crying!
This artwork is wonderful! Thank you so much for the excellent posts this week — from the whole group — I’ve enjoyed every single one. This has made a big impact on me.
What a talented group of kids!
