In the charity's own words
Turning Point works in Kenya to relieve poverty amongst children, mainly in the large slum of Kibera, Nairobi. We provide food, clothing, assist with access to education and basic health-care, and help with emotional and spiritual development. We work by invitation from the local slum community. Our income comes mainly from some supporting churches and a growing network of supporters.
