Geschichte

The development of the NGO “Make Me Smile Kenya” began with the foundation of the „Childrenhouse Miwani“ by Maximilian and Irmgard Ullrich with Simon Peter Otieno, in cooperation with the „Therapeutic Communities“, in the beginning of 2009.
Due to the good and intense cooperation with our Kenyan partners, since ever we managed to take many future-oriented steps together.
Up to date, 21 orphans and vulnerable children (OVC), including our 10 initial MMS girls, who are now under foster care, receive a daily Lunch and medical care in the former “Childrenhouse Miwani” and scholarships through MMS Kenya.
Since our Collaboration with USAID and Path Kenya in early 2012, we have been sustaining 3155 orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) through a network of 6 social workers and 63 community health volunteers.
We are providing health care, education and vocational training, shelter and protection, economic strengthening and psychosocial support to all 3155 children and their caregivers.
In Cooperation with FICE Kenya and the assistance of Mag. Hermann Radler, we established a professional child and youth care worker training in psychosocial support and Counselling.
Furthermore, we organize and host trainings in sustainable agriculture and awareness programmes with adolescent groups and youths to provide space for exchange and generate consciousness about HIV/Aids, Prevention, Family Planing, Health and Hygiene Issues.
Through our Outreach- and Scholarship Programmes we provide children, families and youths with opportunities of development, education and empowerment in form of Economic Strengthening to help them sustain themselves, their families and the community as a whole.
