While not many people know it, Wedgwood Christian Family Services in Grand Rapids, Michigan and Dagoretti 4 Kids and the Inspiration Centre in Nairobi, Kenya have a lot in common. Each of these three organizations are committed to transforming the lives of vulnerable youth in differing contexts.
During a year with Center for Transforming Mission in Nairobi, Kenya, Joel Zylstra worked to provide support for the ongoing development and networking of urban grassroots leaders. Two leaders stood out as they implement creative ways to enhance the lives of youth in their community. James, with Dagoretti 4 Kids, effectively revitalizes the lives of street kids in his community by helping them deal with addictions, finding ways to help them access education, and helping them reintegrate and give back to their local community. Moses leades the Inspiration Centre, located in Nairobi's infamous Mathare Valley, where he supports youth through art, a youth-focused church, and access to educational opportunities in and around Nairobi.
