Growing With Purpose
In December 2025, the Githima family grew—and we are deeply grateful. Each new child and family represents trust, courage, and a shared hope for a more inclusive future.
At Githima, we embrace the uniqueness of every child and every family. We recognize that children living with physical, mental, and developmental disabilities do not have one-size-fits-all needs. Through careful assessment and partnership with caregivers, we develop individualized support plans that strengthen access to community resources and foster dignity, agency, and pathways toward greater independence.
In this next phase, Githima will partner with the families of 15 additional children to ensure access to specialized education and essential care. This support includes covering school fees, providing critical medications, purchasing durable medical equipment, and helping families secure consistent, healthy meals.
As our impact grows, so does the responsibility to steward resources wisely. This season calls for stronger systems—strategies that streamline processes, improve efficiency, and reduce losses—so that every contribution directly serves the children and families who depend on us.
Growth, for Githima, is not just about numbers. It is about deepening impact, strengthening trust, and building sustainable structures that allow every child to thrive.

Making a Difference
In March 2024, the Githima Project in Mukarara, Kenya, achieved a significant milestone. We successfully organized a 10km awareness walk, held a fundraiser, and broke ground on land newly purchased to build a special school for children with disabilities.
This mission was a powerful step forward in our commitment to creating inclusive educational opportunities and raising awareness about the needs of children with disabilities in the community.
We sincerely thank all our supporters and wellwishers for your dedication to making a positive difference in the lives of those in need.
Embracing Uniqueness, Nurturing Growth
Collaboration
We are collaborating with stakeholders in Nyeri County and beyond to actualize Githima School for Children with special needs. Githima Special School will operate a secure facility catering to these vulnerable children who require protection from stigmatization, isolation and victimization.
