Mully Children's Family, Kenya, Africa
A Rehabilitation program (orphanage) serving 2030 disadvantaged Kenyan children


Our Presentation on Mully Children's Family

motivational, inspirational and educational program for churches, clubs and schools . . .

Accept, Forgive, Become:
Making a Difference

 Accept, Forgive, & Become

 . . the three important elements MCF successfully uses within a strong spiritual environment.
 

In our program, simple questions lead participants to discover how to apply the Mully Children's Family approach of . . .
Acceptance, Forgiveness, and Becoming
to their own lives.

Yes, we can all can experience the joy of
Making a Difference
in the lives of others and our world!


What is Mully Children's Family?
MCF takes disadvantaged children from the streets, drug and sex trades, economically disadvantaged and neglectful families and places them within a supportive "family" environment. 

Their approach is one of the most successful we have discovered in our many years of working with children.  These children have found acceptance & forgiving  to be a way of life.  When these elements are in place, they can truly move beyond their pasts into becoming their futures. 

Their success is documented by their academic achievement.  They have some of the highest test scores of any schools in Kenya, and  75% of  graduates qualify for Kenyan universities.  MCF truly takes disadvantaged children and assists them to become the makers of Kenya's future.

  The MCF Touring Group performance scheduled for April 29th, Montcalm Comm. College, has been postponed until this fall. 

Accept, Forgive, Become Scheduled dates:
Tues., March 15th, 12 noon

Charles Mulli is the founder of MCF.  He was the son of an alcoholic and abusive father.  At the age of 6, he was deserted and left on his own as a homeless child. 

As a result of his exceptional capacity to survive and his spiritual perspective, he became an extremely successful entrepreneur.

 Charles Mulli and "daughter"

A chance encounter with some homeless boys ended with them stealing his car.  It also caused him to change his life.  Recalling the difficulties associated with his own life,  he sold all of his businesses to become a "father" to these disadvantaged children. 

Opening his own home and his family to several of these street children was just a first step.  Today, there are seven different facilities providing family, education, occupational training, health services, and a future for 2030 homeless children of Kenya. 

These children range in age from preschool to high school students.  Many are HIV/AIDs orphans and some are sexually abused girls.  The MCF also offers services to abused women. 

MCF has successfully rehabilitated more than 7000 children in the past 20 years.  There are another 2250 children  participating in the MCF programs at present. 

These homes are providing unbelievable educational experiences.  The homeless students are achieving at higher educational levels than most of the Kenya systems.  This is an unbelievable success story for street and abandoned children. 
 

 
They also sport a championship football and karate team, plus recognized dance and vocal groups.   
A strong vocational program is also available in the construction trades, cosmetology, and tailoring.

 


Most of the children reside at the Ndalani branch (pronounced "Dalani").  There are 750students (preschool-12) there.  It is approximately 100 kilometers to the east of Nairobi, the capital of Kenya (Don't Google it because it apparently does not exist except to the people who live there.)

 

 

Ndalani is a semi arid area, and MCF is in the process of rehabilitating the land as well as the children. MCF has established organic vegetable and fish farms that supply food for the MCI homes They also provide employment to local workers.  In addition, the farms also provide 50% of MCF's operating costs. 

 

 

Kenya is on the east coast of Africa bordered by the Indian Ocean.  It is supposed to be "The Garden of Eden" where we as homo sapiens began our existence.  It is also  one of the most beautiful countries in the world and known for its African safaris.
