Our Vision

The ultimate goal of The King's Embrace is to bring healing and wholeness, (physically, emotionally, and spiritually) to the young boys currently living on the streets in Bungoma town, Kenya.  Some of these boys are orphans, most are not.  There are many reasons for ending up on the streets.  Some have run away to escape the physical and emotional abuse they suffer at the hands of their parents, step-parents, or siblings.  Some are there simply because their families do not have enough money to support them.  Once on the streets, however, it is a battle for survival.  Begging and stealing become a way of life.  Hunger is their constant companion. With the meager amount of money they receive from begging, some boys will choose to buy glue instead of food.  Food will only make the hunger pains go away for a few hours but huffing glue gives them a high that helps them cope with the hunger pains for days and helps keep them warm at night.  Many boys become addicted to huffing glue.  It is a common sight to see boys holding bottles of glue in their mouths all over the streets of Bungoma town.  The King's Embrace endeavors to rescue these boys and show them the love and compassion that Christ has shown us, for that is what we are called to do.
