Community & Inclusion
Marketing pays the bills. This pays it forward.
Youth, schools, elders and the people on our streets — the programmes Mary Mash runs and shows up for in person, cameras and all.
Programme 01
Schools Empowerment
Bibles, books, instruments and exam supplies for pupils — and recognition for the teachers who carry them.
We take what a classroom runs short of straight to the classroom: Bibles and storybooks, drums, shakers and tambourines for music lessons, and pens and supplies ahead of exams.
Teachers get something too. Mary Mash Teacher Success Cards are handed out in front of the class, so the pupils see the people who teach them being thanked.
Programme 02
Elderly Empowerment
Food and household supplies packed, carried and handed over to elders in person.
The Mary Mash team and volunteers pack the bags on site — flour, tissue and everyday essentials — and hand each one over themselves.
It is a day spent with the elders, not a drop-off: the supplies go out, then everyone stays for the photo.
Programme 03
Children’s Home Visit
New Beginning Children’s Home in Utawala, Nairobi — and the coverage it cannot buy.
New Beginning sits behind a blue gate in Utawala, under a hand-painted sign that reads nurturing hope, building futures. It houses and schools children who arrived with very little, and it runs on the goodwill of the people who show up.
Mary Mash went with a full crew — cameras, mics, the lot. Not to hand over a cheque and leave, but to give the home stories that put its name in front of people who can help, told properly.
Programme 04
Street Feeding Program
Meals taken out and shared with people living on the streets.
The team takes food out to the street and shares it with whoever is there. Photos from the programme are on their way.
