BoysTown Ruai

BoysTown Children's Home, founded in 1994 by the Niermeyer Foundation, is a charitable institution that supports vulnerable children from Nairobi's slums. Established in 1992, it provides shelter, basic education, food, medical care, technical skills, and secondary scholarships. 
The foundation's success stories include providing primary education for 375 underprivileged boys from orphans, street boys, and poor slum families. In 2007, the foundation handed over the center to the Archdiocese of Nairobi, who entrusted management to the Eudist Fathers in 2015 to improve the quality of life. 
The number of boys fluctuates between 124 and 135, but funds are lacking to provide a secure and healthy environment for study. With the passing of David Niermeyer in 2016, new challenges arise, and new sponsors are urgently needed to ensure the boys' future.
