Vision Peoples in Mission (VPM) is a non-profit, charitable
Christian organisation registered in
Kenya. VPM exists to help Kenyans who are disadvantaged and poverty
stricken by meeting their practical, medical and spiritual needs. As
the Bible says in Daniel 11:32, “the people who know their God
shall be strong and do exploits.” VPM is a Faith Ministry - it
relies on God to provide for the work through the generosity of those
who know and love Him.
We have four objectives :
- To reach out to the
destitute and disadvantaged in Kenyan society as the helper.
To rescue and redeem people to better lives, spiritually, socially
and economically to the Glory of God.
- To establish ways and
means of encouraging people to participate in educational and
socio-economic programmes and development activities for
self-sustainability.
- To provide guidance
and counselling to a hurting society overcome by helplessness.
- To
meet people’s spiritual needs by offering a vibrant Christian
worshipping community in the centre of socio-economic
difficulties.
Our work is based in Korogocho, a slum based around Nairobi’s rubbish dump. Here, VPM offers
primary education for street
children, an orphanage, a clinic, a vocational training programme and a church.
Although we are currently dependent upon support
from overseas we are trying to develop sustainable local income from a
centre in Maseno, a university town near Lake Victoria, and by renting
out some apartments we have built in Lucky Summer, on the edge of
Nairobi.
