In Case You Missed It...here are some highlights at MADE IN THE STREETS from February!
STAFF HIGHLIGHTS

Alex Atema is part of MITS Eastleigh and Into the World team. He joined MITS as a students in 2006 and later started volunteering at Eastleigh. He joined our team in 2018.

Some of his favorite moments at MITS are spent helping people better their lives. "Working with street children constantly reminds me of my past life. I understand their struggles too well and I'm always there to encourage."

Fun Fact: Nothing is too serious for Alex! He likes making people laugh and believes "even God has a sense of humor!"

Benjamin Mwami is a Landscaper at MITS. He has been a part of the team since 2016.

He is passionate about agriculture because it provides people with basic needs and ways to stay healthy.

What Benjamin loves about his job:  "I love conserving the environment. It gives me pleasure to beautify the places I live in. God gives me a lot of revelation towards His creation as I work with nature. My work has taught me to relate well with nature and humans. I also love interacting with children and listening to their transformation stories from the base, to MITS and out to the community."

ENVIRONMENTAL CLUB PLANTS OVER 50 TREES

​Our environmental club at Kware base has planted over 50 tree seedlings and 20 different kinds of flowers.

Planting trees has helped the street children feel a sense of belonging in the community. They are showing themselves to be responsible when given the opportunity. 

Street children are often the most caring and protective of the environment in their communities, keeping their bases clean and collecting plastic for the recycling centre's. Now they are able to plant trees as well!

STUDENT HIGHLIGHT
Emmanuel is thirteen years old, and he joined the MITS program last year.

His favorite subjects in school are math and Kiswahili.

One of his dreams is "when I grow up, I want to be a chef."

When asked about MITS, Emmanuel said "I love MADE IN THE STREETS because it has helped me with a home, and it has helped me to know English." ​
