Who we are
MICHAEL COMMUNITY CENTRE is a Community Based Organization [CBO] registered in 2017 as a non-profit voluntary organization under The Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Development, Murang’a, Kenya Registration Certificate Number 32737. Our area of operation is Murang’a County, Central Province in Kenya.
The organization’s core objective is creating outreach programs to support orphans and vulnerable children [OVC]. We give specific attention to children orphaned by HIV/AIDS and handicapped children.
Due to the poor economic conditions of the guardians we have also created specific outreach programs that empower and uplift the guardians hence enable them support the orphans.
Many families that live in extreme poverty require external support for their dependents. We have created programs to support them and reduce the overall poverty of the county.
To empower underprivileged families; children, youth, women and people living with disabilities, through relevant education and market-focused livelihood programmes.
