About us
Our vision
Transformation through compassion.
At The Metanoia Foundation, we believe in the transformative power of compassion and connection for the healing of the youngest and most vulnerable members of our society.
We are dedicated to providing free psychotherapy and play therapy support to underprivileged children in Nairobi, Kenya.
We began our journey with the Nairobi Children’s Rescue Center nestled in the heart of Nairobi and serving abandoned and orphaned children from birth to 7 years of age.
Care
Compassion
Connection
The Children We Serve
We are committed to providing them with the emotional support and care they need to rediscover their innate resilience.
Our purpose is rooted in the belief that healing is possible where compassion and connection is present, even in the face of adversity. We know that the early years of a child’s life lay the foundation for their future, and unfortunately for these children, their initial years have been marred by abandonment and trauma.
The Metanoia Foundation seeks to be of service in their journey towards recovery and wholeness.
