2015 REPORT FINAL1

CITAM CHILDREN’S CENTRE REPORT
65
On a personal level, some children had an encounter
with God. Three of them said they had been visited
by Jesus in their dreams. One graphically explained
how angels had visited the Centre for ten consecutive
days in August in details that were too glorious to
have been made up by a child. Another dreamt of
the final judgment day. In line with its mission, we can
simply say we have seen God at work to change the
lives of the children at NPCCC.

At NPCCC Academy, we had 16 children graduate
from kindergarten to primary level in November
2015. This was a great achievement especially
for those who were part of the 57 rescued for
rehabilitation in February 2015 as 25 of the others
under rehabilitation could not even be placed in
pre-school after one year of school for them to fit
into regular schooling. It is confirmed that more
than 60% of all rescues (aged between 6-8 years)
constitute children who have never gone to school
for various reasons hence the delays in adapting to
learning in a school setting.
Rehabilitation
At the centre, we had 87 children enlisted for
rehabilitation after the admission of 57 children in
February 2015. However, four could not cope, making
the retention rate stand at 95% for the fiscal year.
All children under rehabilitation were provided with
education, psychosocial support, life skills, counseling,
nutritional care, medical care and boarding. Over and
above, they were taught God’s word and received His
love through various forms of kind acts from each other,
staff and the community. Their highlight was the visit to
the Kenya Railways Museum and for the few who were
privileged to attend Janet Muhoro’s wedding this was
also a beautiful memory. This was the case of Anthony
Kamau who was the star of the day with an eloquent
speech before the children gave their performance and
also as he presented the gift to Bishop JB & Persia
Masinde of Deliverance Church.

Pastor Raymond Juma. One
