OUR STORY
About Lifesong Kenya
Who we are
Join Lifesong Kenya in raising a generation of men who honor women, lead with compassion, and build communities where everyone thrives.
We started off as a Reading Club in 2010 to help children and young people take up reading instead of watching too much TV.
Our mission changed after we met 100 boys at Nairobi Remand Prison in 2012. Our team started meeting the boys in prison, visiting and calling their families, the people they had wronged and police officers who had arrested them.
In 2013, we registered Lifesong Kenya as a Community-Based Organization and added school visitations to our programs. Since 2012, we now run a Halfway House for boys, school programs and an after-school program that uses football (soccer), literacy, parenting workshops, nutrition and advocacy campaigns.
Our Approach

Braveheart's Story
Braveheart’s story isn’t one of despair, though that is where it all begins. It is a story of resilience, the power of community support and how hope can bloom even in the darkest of places.Â
Thanks to generous support from people like you, 17-year-old Braveheart is no longer the broken and hopeless young man who arrived at our Halfway House. He is an exceptional young man with dreams, a future and a powerful story to tell. And we, at Lifesong Kenya, are incredibly proud to be a part of his journey.
