Parents’ Testimonials

Nairobi Family Support Services has helped my child since she was 1 year. My child had cerebral palsy and could not walk independently. They have seen her through primary to secondary now she is in college. She attended therapy clinic for more than 10 years. They provided her with a wheelchair that has improved her mobility at home and in school. I have hope that she will be a responsible citizen despite her disability. God bless NFSS
