    Maji Mazuri is a social economic development program that was created in 1984 by Wanjiku Kironyo and based in Nairobi, Kenya. The program was initially developed in order to help women and children in Mathare Valley, the second largest slum in East Africa.

In 1985, a Canadian woman called Rosalind committed herself to starting a small agency known as the Awareness Program. The purpose of that program was to create a cooperative inter-country partnership with Wanjiku’s office.

From these humble beginnings, Maji Mazuri Center’s projects have grown significantly. Initial funding was mainly received from the Awareness Program, but funds from other sources, supporters and well-wishers have been received over the years. The program is currently composed of six interrelated projects. The projects range from treating and equipping handicapped, abandoned or orphaned children and providing training for…
