Showing love and care by providing relief to the street families of Meru.

Taking time to put a smile on the faces of the less fortunate brings satisfaction with the assurance that you gave hope to a person who the society has failed.

Clothing the street children and feeding them. Not because we celebrate how they live but because we want to remind them that ,"God is having them in mind"

šŸŒø Support a Teen Mum, Save a Generation šŸŒø

šŸ“Meru County has recorded the highest number of teenage pregnancies in Kenya. From January to May 2025 alone, over 3,998 girls aged 10ā€“19 walked into clinics not for exams, but for antenatal care. Thatā€™s 1 teenage girl in every 4 pregnant women.

šŸ§Ø Whatā€™s causing this?

1. Poverty and survival s*x
2. Absent parenting and broken homes
3. Peer pressure and exploitation
4. Cultural norms post-FGM
5. The influence of the miraa and boda boda economy
6. Lack of access to s*x education or contraception
7. Myth and misconceptions

These girls didnā€™t choose this path.

Many were betrayed by those meant to protect them.

And yet, society often turns its back on them, denying them education, dignity, and hope.

Greenland Secondary School for Teenage Mothers is a place where:

āœ… Keeps Girls in School
Education is the strongest weapon to break the cycle of poverty, early motherhood, and dependence. Greenland gives girls a second chance.

āœ… Restores Dignity
Many teenage mothers lack basics: clothes, pads, diapers, food. Your donation helps them walk with confidence and raise healthy babies.

āœ… Promotes Mental Health and Healing
Greenland is a safe space where teen mothers are surrounded by others who understand their pain. Itā€™s a place of healing, mentorship, and growth.

āœ… Breaks the Cycle
Supporting one girl today prevents the next generation from repeating the same mistakes. When we lift a teen mum, we protect her child and change the future.

To become part of the change and hope the community we can

ā£ļøVisit and encourage

ā£ļø Donate:

Clothes (for mums and babies)
Sanitary pads
Diapers
Foodstuffs

We can also support homes for the teanage mothers like the Refuge Oaks International

Special thanks to all HEART CBO members and well wishers who donated clothes that were well received by the girls at Greenland.

Saturday was a beautiful and powerful day.

We spent it at Greenland Girls Secondary School, a safe haven for teenage mothers. Between painting the school walls and donating food and clothes, we shared stories, laughter, and even hosted a heartwarming pageant that celebrated strength, beauty, and resilience.

It was more than just a visitit was a day of healing, for both body and soul.

Each girl we met carries a story. Many were once innocent, full of promise, and strong in their self-worth. But that was before someone often a man trusted to protect saw them not as children, but as objects of pleasure. The result? Deep wounds, stolen childhoods, and lives altered too soon.

Sadly, this is not an isolated case.

In Meru County alone, more than 3,500 cases of teenage pregnancy were reported in the past year, with hundreds more going unreported. Behind every statistic is a girl who now has to mother a child while still being a child herself.

To every parent sheltering a teenage mother at home:
Please, bring her to school.
At Greenland, we teach them to reclaim their worth, rebuild their confidence, and remember that life doesnā€™t end here; it begins again, stronger.

To our community and justice system:
We implore you; stand firmly against all forms of s*xual violence. Letā€™s protect our girls with urgency and consistency. And letā€™s not forget that boys, too, are vulnerable and must be protected.

No child deserves to be violated.
Every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and free to dream again.

Okay tell me how fighting for your rights got to infringing the rights of others.

What's the difference between you and the government that you are demonstrating against?

Are you not just a thief, a killer, a monster who hasn't gotten an opportunity to show us how you can break each and every bone of Kenya without any concerns?

Tell me you're after wrecking the economy of Meru,
1. Bei Saawa supermarket
2. Magunas supermarket
3. Selenite supermarket ....... Many others that dig deep into the heart of Meru.

Didn't you even try to destroy Meru Central?
A community that fights against its own economy is at the risk of breaking.
Let us stand against destruction.

Let us join together to birth a better Meru where brains go ahead of thirst for destruction.

Meru is better when we join together to fight destruction.

The Cry of a Street Girl: ā€œI Want to Belongā€

My name is Tamari.
I was born beside a dirty stream where plastic bottles float like forgotten dreams and flies feast on waste.

My mother gave birth to me there alone, barefoot, with her back against a cracked wall and her heart shattered from the worldā€™s rejection.

There was no hospital. No midwife. No warm welcome.
Just pain, blood, and silence.

They say childhood is a time of laughter.
Mine left the day I arrived.

From the beginning, I was like a small rat; chased, insulted, kicked off paths and verandas like garbage.

Mama was thrown out of her home, pregnant, poor, and bruised.

She tried to raise me. Then came my brother. Then my sister both born out of r**e and survival.

When I was nine, she left and never came back.
I became their mother.

Iā€™ve learnt the art to smile and cry to wash my face.

I know how to sn**ch and steal.
How to run over broken glasses and scratch through fences.

I know how to fight like a boy and sleep like a bird; one eye open, always ready to fly or fight.
Because on these streets, softness gets you broken.

I sniff glue when the hunger becomes unbearable. I beg when Iā€™m lucky. I steal when I have no choice.

And thenā€¦ I became a mother too.
Not because I was ready.
But because no one asked me.

My baby girl cries at night like I used to.
Have you ever given your child an empty breast to suck, just to quiet her down because all you had for supper was dirty hotel sink water?

I have.

I held her close, skin to skin, praying that my heartbeat would lie to her and say everything was okay.

Sometimes well-wishers give us food, Clothes and Soap.

And Iā€™m grateful. Truly.

But a one time meal doesnā€™t build tomorrow.
I donā€™t just want kindness.
I want to belong.

I want a home not a pavement.

A family not a gang.

A church that welcomes me, not one where people shift in their seats when I walk in.

A hospital that wonā€™t turn me away when my child is burning with fever.

I want my siblings in school not sniffing glue under a bridge.

I want my daughter to know stories not scars.

Iā€™m not asking for the world. Just a place to start.

Just someone to say:

ā€œTamari, you are not a burden. You are a loved girl with dreams. You matter.ā€!!

This is my cry.
Not just mine, but of every girl born beside a stream of sorrow, raised in shadows, now raising others in the same fight.

Donā€™t just see our dirt.
See our journey.
See our pain.
See our dreams.

This week has just been difficult for us as a team. What was supposed to be a celebration and a happy moment turned into a life changing experience.

It reminded us to be grateful to God for all the small things we have. We were reminded that we have done nothing to deserve a family a roof over our heads, warm clothes and a meal everyday.

We feel the burden to cause change and we want you to be a part of it.
Imagine your daughter or son sleeping or living in the streets not because they choose that life but because; poverty, domestic violence or they became orphans.

No one deserves to lack. No one chooses to lack. However it's our responsibility to help those who are willing to be helped and to show the blind the way.

I will share with you images of what we experienced to help you understand what we feel and if that inspires you to help please let do this together.

We can never ignore the fact that some among us are suffering.
They lack the basic needs to survive, some need someone to talk to, some need help to stand again and some need good vibes.

We as HEART CBO are focused towards making the world a better place. We are change and we wanna bring a revolution of change. Join us let us put a smile where there's pain.

This is our founder Edith Kinya feeding a beautiful street child who is 1year 1month old.
But because she couldn't choose where she will be born. She sleeps on cartonsand on the verandas of Meru Town. You can see mosquito bites on her face. If help does not come, by age 11 she will be sniffing glue and may be a mother before she even knows what's a dinner date or proper meal.

We are working towards saving her life and the lives of many others.
