Children At Risk Network

Despite the many ongoing efforts by many organizations and individuals to respond to needs of vulnerable children and families, there is not much to show. Many of the ministries responding to these needs are lacking in best practices and therefore not very effective or efficient. Many are working in isolation struggling to find resources to do the work. Greater unity, sensitization, equipping, networking, collaboration and coordination among organizations working with vulnerable families is required if there is to be any improvement. The government is aware that even dedicated Christian projects are not better and they are also doing unstructured and inexperienced work. Though very keen to grow and progress they may not have access to training and resources. Children at Risk Network walks alongside these other groups to help transform the situation by developing their capacity to effectively and efficiently love, care for, protect and disciple children. As a wise person said, a strong desire to make change must be coupled with the capacity to make that change. Many faith organizations are well aware that it is not enough to just have a big heart to serve, but individuals, churches and Christian organizations must also invest time and resources in developing their capacity to do ministry using best practices. We are convinced that the church should be in the forefront in responding to issues affecting their communities. However, Christians are often seen as having a good heart but being oblivious to society’s needs. If the work of the Church is leading the way to lasting change for children and the community at large, it will be respected. The Church was not previously equipped to deal with social issues. Through training and sensitization efforts by SIM Kenya Children at Risk Network, the past perceptions and attitudes of pastors are changing, and they now desire to be equipped to deal with spiritual and professional issues to be included in the common agenda with the government and other agencies to obtain support and reduce any sense of isolation that is usually felt. Healthy relationships and cross-pollination with other SIM Kenya ministries have been borne much fruit and many children have been impacted positively. We are taking advantage of these relationships to enhance our ministry efforts. UNICEF Statistics of Young People connected to Streets and trafficking 100 million globally, 360000+ in Kenya. Nairobi, Mombasa, Kilifi and Lamu are preferred by vulnerable children as easy life opportunity host hubs, hence young people engage in street connection and young people trafficking is very high.

Mayotte ministries

Mayotte is a very unique region of France. The native population is close to 100 per cent Muslim and, while more than 70 per cent of the local people speak fluent French as a second language, the first languages are Shimaore and the lesser spoken Kibushi. Around 50 per cent of the population is made up of illegal immigrants from the Comoros, who are also Muslim. SIM workers use business and their professions to become accepted members of the community, build relationships and eventually share the gospel in private settings. For now, SIM's workers are focussing on the native population in the south of the main island. Could you use your business or professional skills to join this team?
