We know that sometimes,
we find ourselves in a tough season.

IT’S OK NOT TO FEEL OK.

OUR SERVICES

The road to restoration starts here!

Have you experienced a situation where you feel lost, anxious or fearful? Many of us have and know how hard it is to work through those moments alone.

We are here for those that need someone to trust and work through their difficult season. We have helped countless people overcome their struggles with depression, anxiety, grief, and so on.

Navigate the road to hope and healing.

Knowing that someone understands, who has been through something similar, who can help us work through our dark days- it’s a relief. And many other techniques to work with you through your difficult time.

We know it can be tough to trust people, but I’ve seen what it can do for people when they do. It’s hard work, but the rewards are worth it!

We are an organization that offers counseling and support groups with the understanding that we all need someone.

WAYS WE CAN HELP YOU:

01

Individual & Group Counseling

Our primary service is to provide individual and group counseling to children and youth ages 6 to 25. Each person’s circumstance is different. Our goal is to create a space for them to have the opportunity of hope, healing, and restoration.

Our goal is to connect the children and youth to others who have gone through similar experiences they have and have a safe place to talk about relationships, purpose, self-esteem, how to live with HIV, and other topics that affect them.

02

Trauma-Informed Care Training

We are working toward sustainability in Kenya by hosting Professional Caregiver Training. We first help the caregivers, teachers, pastors, and community leaders process their trauma and experiences because we must first take care of ourselves. Our training provides organizations that work with vulnerable children to provide safe and informed care by equipping and educating their staff.

We use a curriculum from the American Bible Society called Trauma Healing, which has been contextualized for East Africa. We also use other clinical-based curriculums to learn how trauma affects the brain, how to support a child who has gone through trauma, ways to address behaviors, and how to connect and build attachment with a child.

03

Community Enrichment

One of the pillars of Kutoa Project is our commitment to community enrichment. We have noticed many youths have a lack of connection and social development, especially upon exiting an institution. Our primary focus is to engage youth and provide positive support systems to help them expand their network of safety because the power of a positive network greatly increases the lasting success of the services provided through counseling.

Kutoa Project has been successful at engaging youth through devotionals that reflect the current needs of the youth, life skill empowerment such as financial literacy, and community sports clinics.

Scheduling

Our office in Nairobi, Kenya, has been open full-time since 2017. We are located on the north side of the Central Business District of the city called Thome Estate. We recently moved on to a property that allows us to increase our reach to those we serve.

TESTIMONIALS

  • Linah Njeri - Canopy Life Academy

    Our current high schoolers went through the training two years ago. One thing that stood out for them, was that they felt their sense of belonging improved, and knowing they are loved despite the challenges they were going through; this was a constant theme after they went through the training. It helped them to gain, self-acceptance. It came just in time, since they were getting into teenage, and hence laid a very good foundation as they continue figuring out their identity. We are truly grateful for the partnership we have with Kutoa Project in nurturing our children.

  • John Parit - Hope Beyond

    Last year, we managed to see many of our precious children receive much-needed, professional counseling that was provided by another ministry called Kutoa Project. Some of our children came to us from some very traumatic backgrounds, and it has taken years to peel through the different layers of pain, making it possible for them to heal.

  • Amy Churchill - Just One Africa

    We have partnered with Kutoa Project for the past several years in our journey to find resources to support our partners in learning more about trauma-informed care. [Kutoa Project] has been growing by leaps and bounds as they try to meet the needs of many children's homes and transitional centers in Kenya. It is a tremendous job, and we are grateful for the vital work they do to see hope and healing a reality for many.

  • Lydia Stern - Kings Kids Village

    Kutoa Project is an organization passionate about walking with organizations like ours to bring counseling services to traumatized, vulnerable children. They have been such a huge asset to us by not only providing counseling for the children but also training sessions for our caregivers and teachers.

  • Colleen Costigan - BEAM

    Twelve of the BEAM students had the privilege of attending a Zoom counseling group session on coping skills through Kutoa Project. We are so grateful for partnerships like these that allow for the kids to open their hearts and minds to new ideas and be supported emotionally and mentally.

  • Meaghan - Nairobi TCC Attendee

    I attended the Trauma Competent Caregiver Training and my outlook on trauma and adoption completely changed. As an adoptive parent, I wanted to know how best to help my child navigate her past, her feelings, and understand what I can do to help her along the way. I learned so much about what Trauma is, what effects it can have on people (especially children), and how to best help someone affected by trauma heal!
