Mission Statement
MRI’s mission is to serve the children of Mombasa, Kenya through three key initiatives: 1. Health 2. Education 3. Economic Empowerment.
About This Cause
Education TEACHER'S SALARY PROGRAM This program either pays for school teachers’ salary or provides a bonus to teachers at select schools. In 2016, all teachers at one school were provided a bonus of one month’s pay from MRI. SHIPPING PROGRAM High risk, high reward program. The reward is the shipping of much needed school and medical supplies to Mombasa via an ocean freight container. The risk is dealing with the Port of Mombasa which can be frustrating due to corruption. This program was started because of the lack of desks and books at the schools we support. We have shipped 4 ocean freight containers over the last 15 years and now there are desks in every classroom. At this time we have no plans to do another shipment. HEALTH PROGRAMS FEMININE HYGIENE PROGRAM Female students were missing school every month due to lack of sanitary napkins. Since 2007 we have provided sanitary napkins to 200 girls every month. This program also provides undergarments for female students. LUNCH PROGRAM MRI provides lunch for two of our sponsored schools two to five days per week. Additional sponsorship is needed in this area. HEALTH CLINIC PARTNERSHIP We currently partner with Tumaini Children’s Home. This is a thriving school for children who are impacted by the AIDS epidemic. ECONOMIC ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS GIRL POWER In Kenya young girls face more obstacles than any other group or demographic. They are the last to be educated and the first to be exploited. Since our inception in 2001, the Mombasa Relief Initiative has always been sensitive to the needs of young female students. Student sponsorship, girls’ seminars and feminine hygiene program are all geared to empower girls in Mombasa and keep them in school. In 2014 we started an all-encompassing program named “Girl power” this program will provide educational, vocational and internships to the female students we support. INFRASTRUCTURE INITIATIVE While not a program this initiative has included installing water lines, water pumps, reservoir tanks, electricity, bathrooms, computer labs, libraries and other vocational equipment in the schools we support. BOYS TO MEN Boys to men is a program designed to improve the self-confidence of young men through sports and social interaction.
