The mission in Kenya began with a small sponsorship program, seeking to provide care for 9 orphans in the Mathare Valley, a slum in Nairobi. The Arms of Jesus Children's Mission now supports children in Greater Nairobi through partnership agreements with various local church and non-governmental organizations who administer the funds directed to children's homes and school sponsorhip programs.
