Dorcas Creation:

In Kenya, Bright Futures works with its development partner, Dorcas Creation.

With a strong focus on the empowerment of women and girls, Dorcas Creation is an indigenous non-profit organization in Kenya, founded in 2006 by Director, Jane Thuo. The aim of the organization is to empower unemployed and vulnerable women and the project initially started in Marurui Jua Kali slum and has extended to Mathare North.

A key project of Dorcas Creation is the Nawiri Mama (Flourishing Mother) program which teaches basic physiotherapy skills to the mothers of children living with disabilities to enable them to better contribute to the social, emotional and physical development of their children. In 2023 Torrens University Australia undertook an evaluation of the program which highlighted the value to both mothers and the children. Nawiri-Mama-Evaluation-Torrens-University

The project has positively impacted the lives of many hundreds of women and their households through self-help savings and production groups. Involvement in the groups has enabled women to develop new skills, create small business, save for important purchases (eg school fees / medical needs / property) and become more confident and resilient. The project also involves the operation of a tiny school at the Mathare North slum which is providing opportunity for early education for children living in deeply impoverished circumstances.

Education is transformative – it allows children to be full participants in their communities.  It changes the lives of the lives of their family and the generations that follow them.
