Our Story

Alex Krupin travelled to Kenya in 2014. After encountering street children in Kitale, the Lord put it on his heart to start a ministry that would serve the needs of street children. That same year a vision was born to start a center for street children in Kitale that would be accessible to all children living on the streets and that would share the love of God with them in both word and deed. Alex partnered with the local missionaries in Kitale to open up the center for street children in 2015 and registered an organization in Canada that would support this work. After Palina joined the Embrace ministry, together with Alex they developed plans to open an Embrace center in Nairobi. The center was opened on January 19th, 2020.
