Helping Vulnerable Street Boys
RICC was established in 2018 with the intent of rescuing, rehabilitating and restoring street children to health, family, community and destiny. Through a coalition of ministers, physicians, professionals and people of all walks of life, RICC believes that all children are loved by God and capable of transformation.
No person is beyond the REACH of God’s love and the sustained efforts of His dedicated and compassionate people.
The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something

Our Strategies For Success
Education
The youth attend a local academy and RICC programming assists in bringing each child up to the appropriate grade level, preparing them for work and higher education.
Mental Health
In addition to a safe and physically healthy environment, the youth take part in various therapy models such as group therapy, individual counselling, agriculture, music, art and sports.
Physical Health
We provide ongoing health care through the Mission of Mercy clinic. Each child is kept current on vaccinations as recommended by Kenya's Ministry of Health.
Environment
We provide a safe family environment where the children receive love, care and responsibilities. Core values are adopted in preparation for their future fostering and families.
Spirituality
Through prayer, biblical guidance, and engagement with local Christian leaders, we provide a nurturing environment that fosters their relationship with God and instills Christian ethics and principles.

What People Say About RICC
“My time at REACH was life-changing. Witnessing the resilience of these children and the dedicated staff's commitment to their growth left an indelible mark on my heart. I'm proud to have played a small role in their journey.”
Mariola Fumero
VolunteerI have had the privilege of witnessing first-hand the incredible work of RICC in Bungoma Kenya. To the region, RICC’s model of rescuing homeless boys from the streets, rehabilitating them holistically and restoring the young men to their relatives and tribes is an incredible solution to a terrible problem. To the boys themselves, who are freed from glue addiction, malnutrition and social rejection, RICC is nothing short of a miracle. I weep thinking of my time in Bungoma witnessing boys living in the trash heaps and one year later returning to families as transformed healthy students being cheering by their communities as they return home. There truly is nothing like RICC. It is clinically sound, culturally attuned and most of all, proven effective.

VolunteerDr. Tom and I have been supporting this organization for over five years. We have had the opportunity to see young men’s lives transformed in so many ways. Two years ago we desired to support two young men who had a desire to go to boarding school. The Lord provided a way for us to make this happen. We were so excited to hear that these two young men have become “super stars” in the areas of academics and leadership.
