Who We Are
Funded by Global Christian Interactive Inc USA in 2004, NSC is known as Oasis of Hope and Love. NSC is a rescue centre that cares for completely abandoned children irrespective of their HIV/AIDS status. The centre was born out of the desperation, stigma, discrimination and possible death that abandoned children and those living with HIV/AIDS face.

Founding NSC was answered prayers to stem the wave of death and destruction that plagued children. Our hearts were pierced by the case of Baby Gatwiri who died in 2003 partly due to neglect by her care giver who saw no need of taking care of a baby living with HIV. Gatwiri's mother had died of AIDS related complications the same year.

She could have lived longer if there was a rescue center at that time. Through this incident, God confirmed to us and greatly steered the need to start a centre to Rescue, Restore and Rehabilitate babies in order to save their lives. New Start Rescue Centre gives hope, life and love to children who have been abandoned or neglected or orphaned through HIV/AIDS and have no relatives to take care of them.

Founded on Christian values and principles, the centre is committed to providing shelter, care and love for abandoned children from 0-2 years. The centre caters for the physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual needs of the children. It is a place of love, hope, care and healing. We do not discriminate against babies irrespective of their HIV status, colour, race, gender or tribe.
