Macheo supports vulnerable children and their families in the urban slums and rural communities around the city of Thika in Kenya. Every child is different. That is why we tailor our support to each child’s specific needs, helping build a strong foundation for the future.
Every child’s safety, dignity, and wellbeing come first. Children have the right to grow up in a safe, loving, and stimulating family environment.
Compassion, and Respect
We treat every child, family member, staff member, and partner with dignity, empathy, and respect—regardless of background or circumstance.
Equality and Inclusion
We ensure equal opportunities for all children and families, free from discrimination based on gender, disability, religion, ethnicity, or social status.
Community Participation and Ownership
We work with communities, caregivers, local leaders, and stakeholders to improve children’s lives. Our first choice is always to partner with (local) government, strengthening existing systems for lasting impact.
