Founded by Bishop. Dr. Paul Mbithi and Reverend Grace Mbithi in the year 2000, Springs of Life Children’s Restoration Center (SLCRC)) had the sole objective of rescuing and rehabilitating vulnerable and neglected children mainly from the Kibera Slums. The center initially piloted with only 4 children at inception. With initial success of the rescue and rehabilitation of the OVCs, Restoration Educational Centre ,a sister institution, was launched in the year 2000, with the purpose of presenting the children with teachers and staff conversant with the challenges of trauma associated with the OVCs, and growing the school to high-
quality standard to offer academic education to other children from the Kibera Slums. To date , 40 of the children who have undergone the process of rescue and rehabilitation at the center, have been exited and reintegrated back to the greater society as very productive adult members. Mr John Ouya, the current Manager of the home , is one of the pioneer 4 street children rescued , having graduated in Human Resources Management.
