More About Motivated Mindset Dancers Studio

Children at MMDS

Our Mission

We help not because we're rich, but because we give from the little we have. If you have, it doesn't mean everyone has. Many people need your small help, and your contribution can make a big difference in supporting orphans and needy children at Motivated Mindset Dancers Studio.

We support children and walk their journey with them, not because we have, but because of the challenging path they have walked. If you have been through tough times, you understand what these challenges can put young children through.

Our mission is to ensure no child is left out of school, lacking resources or opportunities. Education is key to ending household poverty, and we continue walking this bumpy road until these amazing children shape their future through quality education.

Feeding children

Feeding Program

Many children in our community go without food. We kindly request your support to help feed the needy orphans. Together, we can give them hope, strength, and a brighter tomorrow.

Your contribution, no matter how small, can make a huge impact. #SupportTheOrphans #FeedTheHungry #GiveHope

No child should have to choose between hunger and their dreams. Your support will directly help restore our street feeding program, which many dancers rely on for daily meals.

Education support

Education & Sponsorship

We don’t support orphans out of sympathy — we support them out of belief in their dignity, strength, and future. Your sponsorship writes the next chapter of their lives. Education is key to ending household poverty.

We want to appreciate our previous sponsors who used to fund our kids’ education before the cut-off. Your sacrifice was incredible, and your support continues to give hope.

Every contribution helps secure a better future and allows children to thrive despite hardships.

Single moms support

Supporting Single Mothers

Inspired by online challenges and judgments, we started a sisterhood for single mothers — a safe space for conversations, support, and empowerment. Weekly meetups, love, laughter, and shared ideas help them raise their children single-handedly.

Not all single mothers come with drama. Many are educated, independent, and raising the next generation of leaders. They're defined by their strength, resilience, and determination. They deserve respect and encouragement for their efforts.

Camping experience for children

Unique Programs: Camping & Life Skills

MMDS is the only dance studio in Mathare slums that organizes camping experiences for children. They gain more than dance skills — mental health awareness, mentorship, leadership, creative training, and life skills.

Despite social media challenges, our mission is bigger than numbers — it’s about changing lives. We are calling for partnerships, collaborations, and donations to keep this safe, empowering space alive.

Mental health advocacy

Mental Health Advocacy

We advocate for mental health, fighting suicide thoughts and supporting children in crisis. Many learn to cope alone, but our mission is to provide guidance, resilience, and hope.

Healing changes how children let people in — your support ensures no child is left unheard or unseen. May our dancers never die of depression.

Church partnership

Spiritual & Community Values

We partner with local churches to instill Christian values in children. Our holistic programs promote spiritual growth, healthy social interactions, and physical wellness — shaping confident and purpose-driven young individuals.

Pad Bank initiative

Menstrual Hygiene & Pad Bank

Menstrual hygiene is not a side issue. It is dignity. It is confidence. It is protection. At Motivated Mindset Dancers Studio, we refuse to stay silent about menstrual health — because as long as we have young teenage girls, period shame has no place here.

Too many girls miss practice, lose confidence, or feel embarrassed simply because they lack access to sanitary pads. We choose to protect them instead. We choose to talk. We choose to act.

That is why we created a Pad Bank — a safe space where anyone can donate pads, and where our dancers can access them freely, without shame or fear. This initiative has helped our girls stay committed, confident, and fully present in the studio and in school.

To support our dancers throughout the year, we require at least 1,000 boxes of sanitary pads annually. Sponsorships allow us to plan sustainably, reach every girl consistently, and expand menstrual health education alongside pad distribution.

Your support is more than a donation. It is reassurance. It is confidence. It is love in action. Partner with us. Sponsor our Pad Bank. Help us end period shame — one girl at a time.

Urgent donation needs

Urgent Support Needed

Motivated Mindset Dancers Studio is facing a serious challenge. Many dancers depend on our street feeding program for daily meals, but funding is low. Any help—food donations, books, or financial support—can make a real difference.

Required Donations (70 of each item):
  • Food packages (maize flour, rice, beans, cooking oil)
  • Video cameras
  • Pens, exercise books, and pencils
  • School backpacks
  • Reusable water bottles
  • Dance uniforms / T-shirts
  • Training shoes
  • Skipping ropes / basic fitness equipment
  • Story books / revision books
  • Sanitary towels (for girl dancers)

Each donation supports one child — helping them stay healthy, learn, and chase their dreams.

Community feeding impact

The Power of $10 in Mathare

Did you know that just $10 can feed a family for two meals? In Mathare, the dollar has real power. It turns into food on the table, strength in young bodies, and hope in struggling homes.

Now imagine what $200 could do for the families under our program. That’s meals for many households, children going to bed full, and parents breathing a little easier.

We are building a Fundraisers Club — people who believe that small, consistent giving can create big change.

Together, we can fight malnutrition, hunger, and crime, not just with food, but with dance, discipline, and safe spaces. Solving malnutrition and crime through dance is one of the purest forms of humanity we can show one another.

When we feed the body, we calm the mind.
When we move the body, we heal the soul.
