A mattress
A proper place for one child to sleep.
For more than a decade, Rehoboth Blessed Assurance has provided food, education, clothing, shelter and hope to vulnerable children and families in Mwiki, Nairobi.
Rehoboth Blessed Assurance Community Based Organization was founded in 2012 by Pauline Wairimu Wathimu. With no regular donors or sponsors, the organization has continued through the generosity of well-wishers, churches, neighbours and friends.
In 2013, a devastating house fire destroyed everything. Rehoboth continued. Today, the mission remains simple: stand with vulnerable children and families and give them dignity, care and the opportunity for a brighter future.
Read our story →Children are eating without adequate furniture, sleeping without the beds and bedding they need, and living in premises with unfinished structures. With the rainy season approaching, these needs become even more urgent.
KSh 807,300 helps us face the immediate crisis. US$25,000 can help create stability for the next 2–3 years.

Help Meet the Immediate Need
Pauline Wairimu Wathimu founded Rehoboth in 2012 with seven children. Through hardship, a devastating fire and years without regular sponsorship, she and the Rehoboth community have continued showing up for children who need care.
Rehoboth's vision is a compassionate community where every vulnerable child and family has the opportunity to live with dignity, hope and a brighter future.
They learn, play, laugh, grow and dream. Your support helps give those dreams room to flourish.
These are real moments from Rehoboth — children caring for one another, sharing meals and making the best of what they have.
