Who We Are

Holistic Development for Every Child

AIC Kanzinwa operates a three-in-one model — the Church, the KE0759 Child Development Centre supported by Compassion International, and the AIC Kanzinwa Academy providing quality primary education. Together, they form one unified institution serving the most vulnerable children in Mumoni Sub-county, Kitui County.

Since our CDC commenced operations in January 2009, we have grown from 200 to 371 registered beneficiaries, launched the AIC Maeni Satellite, established a boarding academy ranked in the top 10 in Kitui County, and won multiple national Compassion Partner of the Year Awards.

Spiritual Development — Commitment to the Lordship of Christ

Economic Development — Skills and self-reliance training

Socio-emotional Development — Compassion and community

Physical Development — Health and wellness practices
