Nonprofit Organization Management

We are a non-profit registered in Texas and operating in Kenya. We've been an established organization since 2007. We started as a children's home and have grown several branches over the years such as a school, church, and relief work in the north. Mattaw means planting or garden found in Isaiah 61:2. At our main base in Kitale, we are focused on empowering vulnerable children through education and giving them a family to belong to. Our model at mattaw is not a traditional orphanage. Our vision is to give the children placed in our care a family. While our main focus is family and education, we know that in order to raise our children into strong trees, they need a strong root system. We believe in order to do this, we aim to raise our children holistically, which means we focus on their physical, psychological, social, cognitive and spiritual wellbeing. Our model consists of small family units. Each family has their own house with a father, mother, and 8-12 children. We have over 40 staff empowered and employed by Mattaw who are all Kenyans. We believe Kenyans will raise Kenyans to break cycles of poverty, disease, abuse and broken families in order to bring empowerment to thrive in life.
