In theory, the idea of making a life changing trip to Kenya to visit your sponsor child and shower them with love is beautiful. In reality, people coming in and out of a traumatised child’s life, no matter how well meaning, can be devastating for the child. Our children require continuity of care and routine which is provided beautifully by our local staff. Any disruption to this can create setbacks in their emotional progress and healing process. We understand this may be disappointing to some, but as a matter of safety for our children, our policy is that we don’t accept visitors or volunteers at Rafiki Mwema.
