St. John’s Community Centre is one of the institutions of the Anglican Church of Kenya under the Diocese of Nairobi that has been engaged in facilitating social development work in Pumwani since its inception by the Church Missionary Society in 1957. With the realization of its vision - 'A godly society with dignified and sustainable livelihoods' - the organization focuses on five main thematic areas: Education and training, Economic empowerment, Governance and human rights, and Health and management. In its pursuit of transformative development among the residents of Pumwani's informal settlements and beyond, SJCC targets the most vulnerable households, aiming to empower women, youth, children, and those affected by HIV/AIDS. SJCC programs employ integrated approaches that enable our clients to take the lead in steering their own improvement.
