    GIFTED HANDS FOR TENDER HEARTS

    Childhood trauma isn’t just an emotional scar—it changes the way children learn, grow and see the world.

    In Kenya, thousands of children experience abuse, neglect, or violence. Many never receive the help they need—leading to low school performance, behavioural struggles and mental health issues that follow them into adulthood. Without intervention, its effects can last a lifetime, fueling cycles of poverty, violence, and poor health



    Gifted Hands for Tender Hearts is about restoring hope for children through trauma counseling, caregiver training, and support
    Gifted Hands for Tender Hearts

    With the right care and support, children can heal, regain their confidence, and create brighter futures

    At Gifted Hands for Tender Hearts, we believe no child should carry the invisible wounds of trauma alone. Since May 2025, we have been working in Juja Subcounty, Kiambu County, to help school-going children overcome the effects of abuse, neglect, loss and poverty.

    We partner with local schools—beginning with Gachororo Primary School—to provide trauma screening, counseling, psychosocial support, and caregiver training.
