The Beginning...


"The truth is that the 143 million orphaned children and the 11 million who starve to death or die from preventable diseases and the 8.5 million who work as child slaves, prostitutes, or under other horrific conditions and the 2.3 million who live with HIV, add up to 164.8 million needy children. And though at first glance that looks like a big number, 2.1 billion proclaim to be Christians on this earth.......The truth is...that if only 8% of the Christians would care for one more child, there would be NO MORE statistics left."
Revived By Love ministries is based on five different projects that are aimed to better the slum communities throughout the world
firsthand experience on the challenges involved there. Having been raised by support from someone whom he has never met, he considers it his responsibility to mentor and support the current slum community through the same challenges. The ministries main objective is to INITIATE, FACILITATE & MANAGE programs to support in basic education and self help projects to the people. We also empower them to be self reliant people by TRAINING, MENTORING & PROVIDING PLATFORM to them and converting their skills into income generating activities through arts and use them in promotion of the gospel of Jesus. The organization is currently based in Nairobi, Kenya impacting lives in Mathare slums and with plans to extend its influence to other slums of the world. Mathare, just like any other slum is a hopeless place to live in. It is highly overpopulated and has high rates of drug abuse and crime. Families averaging of five people live in a ten foot squared single room. This room serves as a kitchen, bedroom, dining room and even business premises for a family; therefore, there's no ample space for studying. Due to the level of poverty in the slums, school going children struggle with studies because they are in and out of school, since they lack school fees and educational materials. Conditions of the slums promote young girls to engage in prostitution and early marriages resulting in single parenthood and high spread of sexually transmitted diseases . Young men also end up in crime as a means to support their families when their gifts and talents fail to work out for them. Revived By Love Ministries strives to bring hope to the slums of the world.
Mission
To establish hope in the hearts and change the lives of people all over the slums of the world through the love of Jesus Christ.
