REMADE Kenya — Organization Profile
REMADE Kenya (formerly Made in the Streets, often abbreviated MITS) is a Christian nonprofit working with street-connected children and youth in Nairobi, Kenya. The organization states that its mission is to “holistically serve and love street-connected children in Kenya” and to reintegrate them into a nurturing and safe environment. Its vision emphasizes children breaking free from street life to thrive in safe, loving families and supported communities.
The ministry’s work is commonly described through a three-part pathway: Rescue, Rehabilitation, and Reintegration. Outreach teams begin by meeting young people where they are, building trust, and offering an alternative to street survival. The organization highlights that their outreach context includes neighborhoods in Nairobi where many children live and work on the streets, and that ongoing relationships are central to helping a child choose a different future.
REMADE’s rehabilitation work includes a transition and rehabilitation environment designed to provide safety, structure, and support as youth recover from life on the streets. The organization also notes educational support for students who have experienced interruptions in schooling, helping them re-engage learning and develop stability. Alongside this, REMADE describes family-based care as a key emphasis—prioritizing reunification with relatives when it is safe and appropriate, with continued follow-up and support as children transition back into family and community life.
A distinct part of REMADE’s long-term strategy is skills development through its Vocational Training Center, which provides training in practical trades. The organization lists areas such as cosmetology, hospitality, welding, information technology, and auto mechanics as examples of vocational tracks intended to help students pursue employment and sustainable futures. REMADE also connects immediate care with practical engagement through Street Eats, a giving pathway that funds meals for teens on the streets and often serves as an entry point to deeper help.
Supporters can engage with REMADE in several ways. The ministry invites recurring giving through Home Team, offers opportunities to visit and learn through organized trips to Kenya, and provides internships (including ministry and communications roles) that support day-to-day operations and storytelling. REMADE also shares resources such as annual reports and visitor policies, and it encourages churches and individuals to participate through prayer, giving, and relationship-based partnership with its work in Kenya.
