The family strengthening programme started in Mombasa in Kenya in December 2008 is already making an impact (March 2009).
Although the SOS Children’s Village Mombasa has been open over 30 years, the family strengthening programme has only recently been introduced. It began on 1 December 2008 and currently operates in three Mombasa slums not far from the children’s village, namely Shauri Yako, Kisumu Ndogo and Mnazi Moja. The area, Kongowea location, has a population of almost 63,000, 58% of which are poor people and is located seven km north of Mombasa island (the city of Mombasa is built on an island), linked by Nyali Bridge. Ironically, Nyali is considered a prime residential area, and has numerous beachfront hotels. Meanwhile the slums have been named informally, and translated respectively, mean ‘Your Problem’, ‘Little Kisumu’ (Kisumu is a city in western Kenya) and ‘Coconut’.

Na jaren van ontwikkelen van kinderdorpen waar de kinderen door huismoeders werden opgevangen is SOS Kinderdorpen nu volop bezig dit nieuwe programma te introduceren om zo te zorgen dat kinderen in de eigen gemeenschap kunnen blijven maar wel hulp en scholing krijgen.
