Who we are ->Who we are
MCFP is a community-rooted organisation working with children, young people, women, and families in Mathare and surrounding communities. We believe every child deserves the chance to learn, be healthy, and grow with dignity.
Our work supports children's rights to education, food, health, and wellbeing through practical programmes, participation, and community outreach.
A society where children's basic needs are met and their rights are respected.
With transparency, integrity, accountability, and creative community-led action.
01A community with possibility
In Mathare, a school place, accessible period care, a practical skill, or safe health information can open a new route forward. MCFP brings these threads together because every child’s future is connected to their family and community.
