Who We Are

Since inception over Two decades ago, Street Children’s Assistance Network of Nakuru (SCANN), has primarily aimed to remove homeless children from the Streets of Kenya and to provide them with quality Education so they can have a chance to becoming productive members of our society.

While SCANN’s primary objective is education, in order to achieve it, SCANN must also provide continued Rehabilitation, Food, Clothing, Shelter, Health Care and a Nurturing, Familial Environment for these children to succeed.

To date, SCANN has rehabilitated, transformed and empowered over 56 former Street Children into University / College graduates; over 292 O’ Level graduates and hundreds having gone through various levels of Formal Education.

SCANN is also dedicated to feeding needy populations in Nakuru and its environs, by operating the Two Hot Kitchens (at Ronda Slums site & SCANN Center site), where hot meals are served to any needy person free of charge, every evening. These two Hot Kitchens serve over 1,300 needy people every evening. Since inception 3 years ago, the Two Hot Kitchens have served over 1,300,000 hot meals.

Moreover, in accordance with our reviewed Trust Deed of 2022, SCANN now diversifies its charity work towards outreach and socio-economic empowerment of needy communities and schools across Nakuru and the neighboring counties; by providing School Furniture, School Uniforms, Educational materials to needy schools alongside the provision of Medical Care, Food, Clothing and other subsistence to needy communities. This mission orients to the government’s new policy on the need to sustain children within their family units, with the aim of preventing them from ending up in the streets.  

Heartfelt appreciations to all our Donors, Sponsors, Friends and Well-wishers who continue to support SCANN towards ensuring these boys get Education to the highest Level each can achieve.- May God Continue rewarding you All Many Many Folds!!!- Amen

Special thanks to the SCANN Board of Trustees who continue to work tirelessly on Voluntary Basis, towards ensuring holistic welfare of all our boys, efficient running of the Two Hot Kitchens alongside effective implementations of Other SCANN Charity Projects.

To continually make greater impact towards improving the lives of all our children, continued feeding of the Needy Populations and Implementation of other Charity Projects, SCANN continues to invite support from Friends and Well-wishers through sponsoring a child, sponsoring Hot Kitchens’ meals, donating your time or donating towards SCANN other Charity Projects.
