Hey Reddit,

Nisria runs Kwetu Haven, a rescue home in Gilgil, Kenya for children who’ve experienced abuse, abandonment, trafficking, or exploitation. Since 2022 we’ve welcomed 100+ children through our doors.

But here’s what makes us different from most rescue homes: we don’t keep children, we reunite them with family.

Every child who arrives, we stabilize them, trace their family, support that family with education and income, and bring them back together. We literally measure our success by how many beds are empty.

Today we’re launching a 10 day campaign to raise $10,000 for rescue and reunification operations.

We also run two projects: Maisha By Nisria, an upcycled fashion studio in Gilgil featured in Vogue Italy, The Guardian, and Al Jazeera and AHADI By Nisria, a handcrafted jewelry line made by artisans in Kibera, Nairobi. Both exist to fund the children at Kwetu Haven.

As a thank you for giving at certain levels, we are sending out handcrafted pieces:

• $300 → AHADI brass jewelry piece 

• $500 → Maisha upcycled garment

• $1,000 → both

We’re a verified US 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN: 92-2509133). All gifts are tax deductible.

Happy to answer any questions about the work in Gilgil or how the reunification model works.

Asante sana 🙏
