Our team is our heartbeat, our mission embodied, the hands and feet of Jesus on the streets of Nairobi.

Our team members come from a variety of backgrounds. Some are MITS alumni who spent part of their own childhood on the streets and in our classrooms. Some came to us from the university system, ready to put their knowledge and training to use. All are faithful followers of Jesus who work tirelessly to see the kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. They love our students. They teach our students. They listen to our students. They fight for our students.
