Future Needs and Dreams


We are rejoicing that our 10 new kids are fitting in so well at MITS-Kamulu. The Eastleigh Team - praise God for Jane, Moses, Evans, Augustina, Jane and Byron, along with Larry and Hollye Conway - is doing a great work in finding kids and preparing them for change. We will continue to reach out until we have our optimum number of 100 kids living at Kamulu - we will need to intake 14 more.

In order to be highly effective at that number, we need a few things. If you want to help in this, please let us know and send in your funds, earmarked for where you want to help.

1. One new boys' dorm to hold 16 boys and a supervisor. Cost: about $36,000
2. A multi-purpose building to hold up to 250 seated. Cost: about $70,000
3. New Team members for teaching and training - 3 at a cost of about $275 a month each
4. Increase in Kenyan Team salaries to reach a "livable wage" in Nairobi (minimum of $250 monthly) - at a cost of about $4,600 a month.

You could help in multiple ways.
1. Get a congregation or class or small group to do a fundraiser on behalf of a building project.
2. Commit to "sponsor" a Team member -- at $275 a month -- for a year or as long as he/she is with us.
3. Give monthly toward salary increases for the Team.
4. Help MITS get a grant for the building projects or the Team plan.

Thanks for caring. Funds are to be sent to
