MMM, Nairobi, Kenya

In MMM Mukuru Health Program, every day begins with uncertainty — who will walk through our doors, what needs will arise, what challenges we will face. Yet, in the middle of the unpredictability, we continue to discover God’s gentle presence in small but powerful ways. Starting the day praying together helps to keep us in tune with our mission of healing.

A patient may come in distressed, tired, or in pain. Often, it is not just the sickness that weighs them down, but also the weight of life’s struggles. As soon as a nurse takes their hand to record a pulse or a temperature, you can almost see a shift — a reminder that they are not alone, that someone cares enough to listen. In that simple gesture, God is present. In the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) clinic, I watch mothers cradle newborns with a mix of relief and joy. These babies represent more than life — they symbolize hope. Each safe birth is a story of resilience and grace, made possible by the dedication of our staff, the trust of the community, and the generosity of our supporters. Beyond the clinic walls, our community health Promoters continue to inspire me. Walking through the narrow alleys of Mukuru, they carry not just medicines and messages of prevention, but also compassion. They remind families that they are seen and valued. The increase in the number of community members seeking treatment in the facility speaks of their effort. A Community Health Promoter with a TB Client who was discovered in the community and is being welcomed in the facility for her treatment. These encounters are a reminder that the MMM mission is not only about medicine and health services — it is about being signs of God’s love in difficult places.

In Mukuru, though challenges remain, every smile, every recovery, every word of gratitude reminds us that God is truly present among us — and that with the continued kindness of our donors and friends worldwide, hope will keep growing in Mukuru.”
