Celebrating our 30th Anniversary with a special Staff Highlight: Francis Mbuvi! 🎉

Francis, the Executive Director in Kenya, has been with MITS since the very beginning 30 years ago. When asked why he enjoys his job, he said: “I get to share about Jesus with our team, students, and street-connected youth. That gives me so much joy.”

Interesting Fact: “I am jovial, outgoing, and empathetic!”

Favorite Verse: “Philippians 3:10”

Best Advice: “This is God’s work; He will take care of it.”

Francis has been a steady, faithful presence through every season. Whether he’s leading with quiet strength or encouraging students with a smile,

Isaiah* is finally home.

At MADE IN THE STREETS, we believe no child should live on the streets. We provide safety, education, job training, and ongoing support.

But, there is a kind of love only a family can provide.

For Isaiah, living with his family became a real possibility. After careful evaluation, our team supported his reintegration with his uncle—someone Isaiah deeply respects and trusts.

We will continue walking alongside Isaiah by staying committed to his education, safety, and emotional well-being.

Isaiah’s last chapel wasn’t without a few tears from close friends.

His quiet, creative presence will be missed, but his journey forward is full of hope!! Praise God!

Art gives kids a safe space to explore their creativity and express themselves in ways words sometimes can’t.

We’ve seen a lot of truly remarkable art pieces come out of our classrooms in Kenya…

So many that we decided we needed to bring some for our friends in the United States!!

If you join us at one of our events in Texas or California, you might just go home with an original piece created by a young street-connected artist!

In his speech, Brad Voss reminded everyone of a powerful truth from Scripture: God is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine. “When you look back on the last 30 years of MADE IN THE STREETS,” he said, “that’s exactly what’s happened… more than we could ever ask or imagine.”

After three decades, we have a lot to praise God for. So, we got up out of our seats and danced!!

#30yearsofmits #anniversary #familybasedcare #streetconnectedyouth #ministry

We kicked off our 30th Anniversary celebrations in Kenya last weekend! 🎉

From praise and worship to powerful speeches, laughter, and dancing, the day was a beautiful reminder of how faithfully God has led us over the years.

Executive Director Brad Voss and founders Charles and Darlene Coulston joined the party, standing side by side with the team. It was a full-circle moment that reminded us how faith and perseverance have carried this mission through the past three decades.

30 Words for 30 Years ❤️

What word would you give to describe MADE IN THE STREETS?

#madeinthestreets #streetconnectedyouth #kenya #ministry #30years #anniversary

30 YEARS OF MADE IN THE STREETS 🎉🎉🎉

For three decades, we’ve walked with street-connected youth in Kenya, offering support, opportunity, and the hope of Christ!

This anniversary is a beautiful reminder of God’s faithfulness and the lives that have been transformed through this work.

We’re so grateful for every person who has prayed, given, served, and stood with us over the years. 💚

Here’s to all that’s ahead!!

#madeinthestreets #streetconnectedyouth #kenya #ministry #30years #anniversary

Something pretty big is happening tomorrow. Any guesses??

Hint: 🎉🥳🎈🎊

Luke 15:11–32 shares the Parable of the Prodigal Son.

The son had run away, but upon his return, the father was overjoyed.

His father declared, “Let’s preapre a great feast and celebrate. For my beloved son was once dead, but now he’s alive! Once he was lost, but now he is found!” (Luke 15:23-24)

That same joy echoed through the hearts of these grandparents when their grandson finally came home. During the preparations for our own celebration—a feast honoring a family being reunited—they stood up and danced.

Their grandson is back where he belongs. 💚

#madeinthestreets #ministry #streetconnectedyouth #family #familybasedcare #reunification

One of Pepperdine’s traditions when they come is crowning each kid who attends science camp with a paper crown.

It’s a declaration of truth from Psalm 113:7–8: “He lifts the poor from the dust and the needy from the ash heap; He seats them among princes, with the princes of His people.”

Every crown is a reminder that God sees us, knows us, and raises us up.

Thank you for this powerful moment.

#madeinthestreets #pepperdineuniversity #psalm113 #minstry

We will never forget the memories made with our friends from Pepperdine University. 💙

Every other year, Pepperdine brings a group of intelligent, service-minded students to MITS to teach our students about nutrition and healthy habits. They cover topics like what makes a balanced diet, how vitamins support the body, and share fun new recipes for the students to try. In addition, they host a science camp for street-connected kids at our campus in Kamulu.

This group showed up with open hands and open hearts. Over two weeks, we shared feasts and parties, worshiped and laughed together, and embraced the simple, everyday moments of community.

Did anyone keep track of how many hundreds of chapati were eaten?

We are deeply grateful for this ongoing partnership with Pepperdine.

Their laughter, worship, and wholehearted embrace of our community reminded us how beautiful the body of Christ truly is. You have shown us that when the body of Christ shows up for one another, everyone walks away changed.

Until next time, friends. We will be waiting for your return… 💚

#madeinthestreets #pepperdineuniversity #mits #studyabroad #ministry #kenya

We had three incredible interns with us this summer!

Railey and Grayson, our ministry interns, served in Kenya by sharing the Good News of God’s love through chapels and devotionals. They also helped with administrative tasks and jumping in wherever needed- including the classroom.

Megan served as lead intern and lended her talents to some exciting photography projects.

We’re so thankful for their hearts, their enthusiasm, and the meaningful support they provided during their time with us!

To our interns- We can’t wait to see you again soon. Thank you for everything 💚

#madeinthestreets #internships #ministryintern

“Six mornings a week, I step out of my house to go and speak life to our students at MADE IN THE STREETS to help pave way for a better life for them and their families as God provides.”

Meet Irene.

She has been at MITS since October 2006. As the Transition Center Manager, she loves what she does because she gets to see complete transformations in kids’ lives.

A fun fact about Irene is that she loves good loud laughs! Her favorite Kenyan dish is Ugali with traditional vegetables and Tilapia fish sometimes substituted with tasty beef.

The best advice Irene has ever received is that “it’s never that serious… take life easy.”

We are so thankful for you, Irene!

We’re still reflecting on the impact Lipscomb University students had during their time on our campus!

This amazing group shared their love for Jesus, their musical gifts, and their passion for worship with the students at MITS. They even wrapped up their trip with an unforgettable concert!

Our staff and students were deeply blessed by everything they poured out. We’re continually encouraged by the joy and strength our international partnerships bring.

To our friends at Lipscomb University— your songs are still echoing through our halls, but more importantly, in our hearts. Come back soon!! 💚

Students at our Vocational Training Center are working diligently to perfect their skills in the kitchen. And hey, a quick photoshoot between classes never hurt, right?

It takes a village.🏡

We believe that, when it’s safe, children belong with their families.

That’s why we walk closely with each family through this process. True restoration does not happen overnight.

It takes time. It takes care. It takes all of us.

As we transition more kids home, we can open our doors to others still living on the streets, creating more space for healing to happen.

#madeinthestreets #ministry #streetconnectedyouth #community #familybasedcare

In partnership with Helping Hands International, MADE IN THE STREETS hosted the first-ever dental camp at our Eastleigh Outreach Center!!

Over 700 street-connected children and community members received free dental care, including treatment for infections, pain relief, cavity fillings, and oral disease prevention.

Dr. Mike Hyodo led a nine-person U.S. dental team and a six-member crew from Helping Hands International. He said their work was not just about treatment, but about restoration, just like the mission of MADE IN THE STREETS.

The Eastleigh Outreach team will continue providing daily medical first aid and holistic support to those who need it.

#madeinthestreets #dentalcare #collaboration #ministry #streetconnectedyouth

Restoration is possible. And it’s happening right here at MADE IN THE STREETS!

After running away from home, Fredrick* believed he couldn’t go back. He came to our Outreach Center in Eastleigh looking for a warm meal and a bit of hope.

Not long after, he moved to our Transition Center in Kamulu where our team took time to listen, to care, and to begin the search for his family… who had been longing for him all along.

Stories like Fredrick’s remind us why this work matters. Stories like this remind us that it’s worth it.

Children should not live on the streets.

Since 1995, MADE IN THE STREETS has made it our mission to change that.

The United Nations designated May 15 as the International Day of Families!!

The theme this year is “Family-Oriented Policies for Sustainable Development”. This highlights how strong family systems contribute to long-term social and economic well-being.

At MADE IN THE STREETS, we’ve embraced family-based care, rooted in the belief that safe and loving family environments are essential for lasting change.

By focusing on reintegration and strengthening family units, we contribute to building resilient communities where children can thrive!

STAFF HIGHLIGHT ✨

Clinton is a social worker and caregiver who’s been part of MITS for 3 years. “I like that I make a real difference in people’s lives,” he said, reflecting on what he enjoys about this work.

In his free time, you’ll find him watching movies or listening to music.

His favorite verse is Joshua 1:9: “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

We are so thankful for Clinton!!

HAPPY EASTER!! 🌼🌼🌼

Easter reminds us of the incredible hope brought by Jesus’ resurrection. In Christ, we are not just changed. We are all made new.

At MADE IN THE STREETS, we see that hope come to life every day as young people step into healing, discover their God-given identity, and begin to build a future filled with purpose and possibility.

The work we do is transformative, and we couldn’t do it without you.

Your support brings the message of Jesus to young people who are longing for a new beginning. This Easter, we celebrate that hope with you—a hope that is alive, enduring, and always leading toward redemption.

May your Easter be filled with deep joy, quiet peace, and the renewing love of Christ!

#madeinthestreets #kenya #easter #mits #redemption #hope

DAY 12: Gratitude for Transformation! 💕

Today is the day! It’s International Day for Street Children, and we’re filled with gratitude as we reflect on the real transformation happening in the lives of so many kids at MADE IN THE STREETS.

This day honors the strength and resilience of street-connected children all over the world. And for us, it’s a reminder of why we do what we do.

We believe change is possible...because we see it every single day!

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” —2 Corinthians 5:17

#12daysofgratitude #transformation #ministry #internationaldayforstreetchildren #kenya

DAY 11: Gratitude for Prayer 💖

Today, we express our gratitude for the gift of prayer. Through prayer, we seek God’s guidance and wisdom in our work, trusting in His strength to lead us forward.

As Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us:
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”

#12daysofgratitude #prayer #ministry #internationaldayforstreetchildren #kenya #madeinthestreets

DAY 10: Gratitude for…

Gratitude illuminates how God continues to provide for us. It reveals the light in the darkness.

Today, we encourage you to pause and reflect.

What are YOU grateful for?

REMINDER: International Day for Street Children is on April 12! A day to raise awareness and stand with the children who need our support the most.

#12daysofgratitude #gratitude #internationaldayforstreetchildren #ministry #kenya #madeinthestreets

DAY 9: Gratitude for our Partners

Collaboration is key.

Today, we’re especially grateful for the partners walking with us as we embrace family-based care!

Thank you to @1millionhome and @wezacaresolutions for your support, guidance, and encouragement. Your expertise has been instrumental in helping us pursue what’s best for the children we serve!

🩷 1MILLIONHOME is on a mission to radically collaborate with frontline implementers, innovators, and investors to restore separated and abandoned children to permanent, loving families. As many as possible, as safely as possible, as soon as possible.

🩷 Weza Care Solutions is a nonprofit consultancy specializing in family and community-based care. They walk alongside Charitable Children’s Institutions (like MADE IN THE STREETS), offering practical support and personalized coaching to help ensure every child is cared for in a safe and loving home or community.

We are better because of partners like you! Thank you for believing in this work.

#12daysofgratitude #familybasedcare #mits #kenya #partnership #internationaldayforstreetchildren #ministry

Day 8: Gratitude for the Mental Health Department 💖

Mental health is a crucial part of holistic care. Today, we’re grateful for the strategies, spaces, and people that make true healing possible.

Every story begins with a memory. Some of those memories bring joy, while others carry deep pain.

Children living on the streets have faced more than many of us can imagine. But, through the faithful presence of counselors and social workers, we’ve watched healing begin.

We’ve seen students rediscover their worth, rebuild their sense of identity, and take courageous steps toward wholeness.

That is something to be grateful for. So, today, we say thank you to our mental health team—the ones who quietly and consistently remind every child: You are not alone.

#12DaysOfGratitude #mentalhealthmatters #mits #ministry #kenya #mentalhealth

Day 7: Gratitude for Learning and Growth 💗

Things don’t have to stay the same.

Today, we’re thankful for the opportunity to grow into better versions of ourselves. Education is a powerful gift that fuels personal growth and is essential for society to thrive!!

#ministry #madeinthestreets #12daysofgratitude #nairobi #kenya #learning

DAY 6: Gratitude for our Outreach Program 💕

Today, we’re especially thankful for our Outreach Program. While every program we offer changes lives, outreach reminds us there is work to be done.

Outreach is sometimes the very first moment a child encounters hope. It’s a hand extended. A conversation started. A reminder that they matter…

It’s a step toward healing. A step toward home. A step toward hope.

#gratitude #12daysofgratitude #nairobi #hope #minsitry #outreach

DAY 5: Gratitude for our Supporters!! 💕

Can we take a moment to say thank you?

None of this work would be possible without people like YOU. Your generosity—through time, energy, prayers, and financial support—changes lives. Because of you, street-connected children have the chance to learn, grow, and build a brighter future.

International Day for Street Children brings awareness to a critical issue in society. But we know there is hope… we see it every day!

From all of us at MADE IN THE STREETS, thank you for being part of this mission!

#12daysofgratitude #gratitude #streetconnectedyouth #madeinthestreets #ministry #hope

DAY 4: Gratitude for the MITS Team 💕

Our team is the heart of MADE IN THE STREETS, and we are so grateful for the dedication, care, and hard work each staff member pours into this mission every day. To every team member—thank you!

Special Staff Shoutout: Meet Linda!

Linda has been with us for 9 years as one of our social workers, doing case management with street-connected kids in Eastleigh.

“I love the fact that I get to serve and help in whatever little way may be possible. Leaving someone in a better place physically, spiritually, and intellectually than where you found them is always a highlight of my day.”

Fun fact: Linda is a big reader and a huge soccer fan! Her favorite team is Arsenal, but, in Kenya, she cheers for MADE IN THE STREETS Football Club!

Linda is a gift to all of us! Thank you for all you do!! 🩷

#staffhighlight #12daysofgratitude #gratitude #madeinthestreets #streetconnectedyouth

DAY 3: Gratitude for Art 🎨

Art is more than just a fun activity—it’s a way to be seen, heard, and healed.

Street-connected children in our Eastleigh program have the chance to express themselves creatively in art classes. Not only is it a chance for kids to be kids, but it’s a way for them to process their emotions and tell their stories.

And we’re so grateful for the beauty that comes from it! 💞

#12daysofgratitide #kenya #familybasedcare #therapeuticart #gratitude #streetconnectedyouth

DAY 2: Gratitude for Community 💕

No one is meant to do life alone. Community gives us a sense of belonging. For street-connected children, finding a loving community can change everything.

When we show up for each other with love, support, and action, we create something bigger than ourselves. And in the moments when we don’t have the strength, we can lean on the strength of others.

Tag someone you’re grateful for!! 🫶

#12daysofgratitude #gratitude #community #streetconnectedyouth #nairobi

✨ 12 DAYS OF GRATITUDE ✨

International Day for Street Children is on April 12! So, for the next 12 days, we will be sharing powerful stories of the people, opportunities, and truths that are transforming the lives of street-connected children!

This day highlights a heartbreaking reality—there are kids living on the streets. But, choosing gratitude helps us see God at work...even in the hardest places.

And it all starts today!

Today, we are grateful for God’s faithfulness, for His constant presence in our lives and His provision through every season! 🩷

#12daysofgratitude #MADEINTHESTREETS #streetconnectedyouth #Godisfaithful #familybasedcare

Every Monday, women gather at our Eastleigh Outreach Center to learn new skills.

For 17-year-old Meshack, this lesson was personal. Last month, he helped his mom, Lucy, make chapatis, samosas, and mandazis so that she could cook them for his little sister.

These moms leave with more than knowledge. They gain confidence and a community that believes in them!

#madeinthestreets #familybasedcare #mits #familyfirst #kenya

Our top priority is ensuring the BEST care possible for the children we serve.

So, our team participated in a three-day intensive “Foundations in Counseling” workshop. This training was designed to deepen our understanding of meaningful and supportive conversations with children.

Regardless of the department, each team member plays a crucial role in creating a safe space where children feel heard, valued, and empowered!

#familybasedcare #madeinthestreets #ministry #kenya #ongoinglearning

We believe that whenever possible, growing up in a family provides the strongest foundation for a child’s future. For Obed, that possibility has now become a reality!

After losing contact with his family, Obed found himself living on the streets. He has been a student at MITS for the past four years, but after months of preparation, he was joyfully reunited with his family!

Before Obed went home, staff and students gathered for a heartfelt prayer and celebration. Obed’s father joined us, expressing deep gratitude for the role MITS has played in his son’s journey. It was a beautiful moment for everyone.

This is just the beginning for Obed, and we are thrilled to continue walking alongside him—and so many others—on this journey!

#familybasedcare #madeinthestreets #home #ministry #kenya

Joseph and Daniel, once living on the streets as young boys, have now been given the chance to be with their family again. From outreach to reunification, MADE IN THE STREETS is there every step of the way because we believe everyone’s story has a chance for redemption!

1. Identification: Recognizing children in need of care and protection through outreach efforts.
2. Case Assessment: Evaluating the child’s needs, safety, and vulnerability.
3. Family Tracing: Locating family members to assess the potential for reunification.
4. Case Planning: Developing a plan with all stakeholders for the child’s successful reintegration.
5. Implementation: Putting the case plan into action with support from all involved parties.
6. Monitoring & Follow-up: Continuously checking the child’s progress and well-being post-reunification.
7. Case Closure: Only when reintegration is stable and sustainable.

#madeinthestreets #familybasedcare #familycare #reunification #streetconnectedyouth

Parents Day is always a special event at MADE IN THE STREETS! 💚 For teenagers at our boarding school, it’s a chance to reconnect, share laughter, and create lasting memories with their parents and guardians.

Our efforts in family-based care highlight the power of kids bonding with their families!

#madeinthestreets #kenya #ministry #familybasedcare #familyfirst

Sometimes, a little support can change everything.

Vivian, a courageous 16-year-old mother, was living on the streets. After passing her recent exams, she has qualified to enroll in high school! MITS will continue offering daytime care for her daughter so that Vivian can focus on her dream of becoming a nurse, creating a better future for both of them.
