Welcome to DCM
Diakonia Compassionate Ministry (DCM) is a nonprofit, faith-based, community organization that was founded in 1997 and aligned with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Kenya (ELCK). Our mission is to give hope, social and spiritual support to the vulnerable in the community. We believe in the ability of communities to overcome problems. Instead of being an organization that just gives handouts, DCM works to give people the opportunity to solve their problems to find long term solutions.
DCM has 5 main areas of focus:
- Disabilities Ministry
- Children’s Bible Clubs
- Orphans, Widows, and Elderly Support
- Healthcare Services for HIV/AIDS and Malaria
- Disaster Management and Response

Diakonia Compassionate Ministry (DCM) looks forward in 2012 to enable communities and churches we are working with to provide assistance to young adults with developmental disabilities in improving quality of life of each individual served, according to his or her own unique needs and abilities. Towards this goal we look forward to establish an integrated community group homes with agricultural component, counseling services, individualized service plans and community vocational trainings and job placements. We would like to invite you all to walk with us in this New Year in prayers and support in realizing our goal.
