TRANSFORMED LIVES
A former street boy, Boniface now earns a good living in Kenya's construction industry, and has a wife and two lovely children.

TRANSFORMING LIVES
Mary Print (known to many as Dr Mary Matthews) co-founded Footsteps International in 2001. She died on 14th October 2023 after a two year battle with cancer. But, her legacy lives on in the hundreds of young people whose lives she touched.
In this tribute video, she explains the valuable work we do at the Sunshine Centre where we transform the lives of Kenyan street boys.
