GREEN STEPS Project

Every child deserves a safe place to grow, play, and learn. 💚

​Since 2019, the Green Steps Project daycare has been a safe haven for young children in the Ngong Umoja (Mathare) community. What started as a way to support parents working at the former Ngong dumpsite has grown into a nurturing space that has prepared over 100 children for school!

​Here is what we are building together:

​Nutritious Meals: Providing healthy, balanced food and fresh fruit daily for 25 babies under age 5.

​Essential Care: Ensuring access to clean hygiene supplies and providing shoes for children who don't have any.

​Empowering Mothers: Giving hardworking moms—many working as casual laborers, scrap collectors, and pig farmers—a safe place to leave their little ones while they earn a living.

​Community Garden: Partnering with local mothers to farm our garden, increase our food supply, and nourish even more children.

​It truly takes a village. Thank you to Small Steps Project and everyone in our community for standing with us in so many meaningful ways. Together, we are laying a solid foundation for the next generation! 🌱👣

Thank You for Making Our Party a Beautiful Success 💚
What a joyful day it was! Our party was a great success, and the kids had mad fun — full of laughter, dancing, and unforgettable moments. We danced together, shared joy, and enjoyed some really good meals as one big family.
The celebration ended on a special note with a December birthday party, courtesy of Aunt Betty, who was also celebrating her own birthday. Thank you, Aunt Betty, for your generosity and love — we truly appreciate you.
A special thank you to the amazing ladies who dedicated their time and energy to cooking and serving. Because of your effort, we were able to share 157 meals — what a blessing! 👏🏽
To everyone who contributed in any way — food, time, resources, and support — thank you. You made this possible. May God bless you abundantly for standing with us and for being part of this journey.
With gratitude,
Green Steps Project Community Based Organization 💚

With heavy hearts, we mourn the fire tragedy in our community, which has claimed three lives — one adult and two children. Among those we have lost are Mr. Maina, Samuel, and Tina, members of our community and the Green Steps playsite family.

We stand together as a community in mourning, extend our deepest condolences to the affected families, and pray for a quick recovery for all those who were injured.
🕊️ May their souls rest in peace.

Clean hands, healthy kids 🧼💧✨
We train our children to wash their hands before meals, after the toilet, and after play—because prevention starts with simple habits.
With clean water and soap, we keep germs away.
At our center, hygiene comes first! 💙👶🏾🌱
