Many children, young people and families we meet have faced circumstances that disrupted their safety, education, wellbeing and opportunities — displacement, family breakdown, exploitation or violence. What they need first is not sympathy, but safety.
Nyumba Salama — “safe house” — exists to provide exactly that: a stable, dignified environment where healing, learning and reintegration become possible, and where every young person is seen as capable of rebuilding a future of their own choosing.
A secure, dignified place to live free from harm.
Counselling that helps children process experience and build confidence.
Regular medical care and attention to physical wellbeing.
Catch-up learning and continued schooling.
Practical skills for independence and self-reliance.
Careful, supported reunification with family wherever possible.
A confident transition into adulthood and community life.
A safe breakfast together, then preparing for the school day ahead.
Structured learning, tutoring and catch-up classes.
Individual counselling sessions and vocational training workshops.
Sports, art and music — space to play, create and simply be young.
Safe accommodation, quiet reflection, and rest.
One-on-one and group counselling delivered by trained professionals.
Remedial classes, school enrolment support and learning materials.
Routine check-ups, treatment and referral to specialist care.
Locating family members and preparing both sides for safe reunification.
Budgeting, communication, conflict resolution and daily living skills.
Trade and enterprise skills that open a path to independent income.
Individualised case plans and legal support where required.
Continuous protection monitoring built into every stage of care.
The dignity, privacy and wellbeing of every child, young person and family we support are central to
everything we do. While we celebrate stories of hope and transformation, we are committed to
protecting identities, respecting personal experiences and ensuring that every image, story and
interaction reflects the highest standards of safeguarding and ethical communication.
The safety and wellbeing of every beneficiary always comes before publicity, fundraising or media coverage.
Photographs, videos and personal stories are only shared where appropriate consent has been obtained and doing so is in the individual's best interests.
Sensitive information is protected, and personal details are anonymised where necessary to prevent identification.
We tell stories that celebrate resilience, strength and hope without exploiting vulnerability or reinforcing stereotypes.
Language and imagery are carefully chosen to avoid causing distress while maintaining authenticity and respect.
Safeguarding policies, staff training and reporting mechanisms keep protection embedded in everything we do.
Referrals come through government social welfare offices, community leaders, schools and our own outreach teams, always following an assessment of need and safety.
Yes, vetted volunteers with relevant skills — education, counselling, healthcare or vocational trades — can apply through our Get Involved page.
Financial and in-kind contributions can be made directly to Nyumba Salama; every contribution is accounted for in our public reporting.
Every staff member and volunteer undergoes background checks and safeguarding training, and we maintain a confidential reporting mechanism for concerns.
Where safe and appropriate, families are engaged from the outset in case planning and prepared carefully for eventual reunification.
Government agencies, donors, child protection actors and civil society organisations can all partner with Nyumba Salama — contact our team to explore how.
Join us in creating safe spaces where healing begins, dignity is restored and brighter futures become possible.
