Join us as we capture the journeys of those we serve in Africa and Lebanon. Kids Alive International has sites in Kenya, Zambia, and Lebanon.
Thanks to support from donors like you, we’ve been able to walk alongside vulnerable children, families and communities on the path to justice and healing. As we confront challenges and address the root causes of trauma—like sexual violence, abuse, neglect, and unrest—we trust God to guide us in empowering the marginalized through life-changing journeys.
Kids Alive Kenya is multiplying their impact on the well-being of children by partnering with schools and churches on the journey of empowering children and families. The trauma-informed and responsive team has provided training and technical assistance to teachers, pastors, and other local leaders on how to respond to challenging situations in a trauma-responsive way.
The ability to respond to children with emotional and physical well-being needs can help them be in a healthy place to actively learn about God. The Nairobi Hope Center facilitated a week-long VBS program this year at a local church, drawing in an average of 70 children per day, with 8 children giving their lives to Christ.
Inviting schools and churches on this journey with us helps ensure that our efforts are sustainable and accessible to more children and families than we could reach on our own.

Kids Alive Zambia has been busy advancing justice for individuals and systems. Sally* came to KAZ after experiencing abusive trauma from her mother burning her. While it was scary and difficult for her to testify against her mother, she had the support of many loving adults in her corner. Sally was ultimately reunified with her father and loves encouraging him to take her to church. Sally is one of many children who have experienced justice through Kids Alive Zambia.
Awareness is an important step in the journey of advocating for justice. KAZ has been engaged in numerous radio shows, community events, and other awareness raising efforts, reaching hundreds of thousands of people in Zambia to help bring awareness to destructive traditional myths related to child sexual abuse. Parents are learning how they can play a role in prevention.
Government officials, agencies, and other like-minded partners are collaborating with KAZ to advance justice and better serve the welfare of children, families, and communities.

Embracing a Life-Changing Relationship with God
“I took my final decision to follow Jesus Christ. And it’s the decision that costs me a lot. I’ll lose my parents. I’ll lose a lot. But I gained the most important thing.” 18-year-old Jack* recently made the life-changing decision to accept Christ, a decision that will upset his Muslim parents and other family members; however, he knows this is his path and is trusting in God.
Jack didn’t make this decision lightly. After years of learning about God through Kids Alive Lebanon’s programs, he wrestled with and questioned his beliefs about Islam and Christianity. Every day, Kids Alive Lebanon works with children and parents alike. There are many others, just like Jack, who have come to understand and accept the life-changing power of Jesus. We know that God will use Jack to help others and are grateful that he has responded to God’s call.
