Praying for Safety and Protection at MCF Yatta
Psalm 121:7–8 (NIV) – “The Lord will keep you from all harm; he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.”
MCF Yatta stands as one of the most vibrant and transformative campuses within the Mully Children’s Family. It is home to Mully College, the MCF Yatta Farm, and the EC Poultry Project, three pillars that provide an environment where children and youths receive holistic development. Here, young people benefit from shelter, parental care, spiritual nourishment, free formal and informal education, skills training, and opportunities to discover and grow their talents. As one of MCF’s 11 campuses across Kenya, MCF Yatta currently hosts more than 1,300 children and youths, supported by over 200 coworkers dedicated to helping them build futures rooted in faith, dignity, and purpose.
However, despite the impactful work happening on campus, a serious safety threat has become a pressing concern. The Thika–Garissa Highway, which borders MCF Yatta, has become a dangerous black spot due to high-speed traffic in both directions. This poses a constant risk for pedestrians crossing the road, beneficiaries and coworkers moving around the campus, and vehicles entering or exiting the main gate. Each day brings anxiety and caution as people navigate this hazardous stretch.
In recent weeks, this danger has led to heartbreaking incidents. On 21st November 2025, a Mully College student was struck by a speeding vehicle. Just days later, on 30th November 2025, another student was similarly hit. The second victim, a young girl full of promise, remains hospitalized in critical condition. These tragedies have deeply shaken the MCF family, prompting united prayer, reflection, and urgent action as we continue trusting God for the complete healing of the affected students.
In response, MCF has formally appealed to the government road authorities for immediate intervention. Requests include installing speed bumps, rumble strips, proper road signage, and other safety measures to slow vehicles and increase visibility. While such approvals often take time due to procedural requirements and competing priorities, MCF continues to follow up with determination, believing the authorities will act swiftly to prevent further harm.
We humbly ask for your prayers during this critical period. Please pray for the complete healing of the two Mully College beneficiaries injured in the recent accidents and that they will experience no long-term complications. Pray also for favour and accelerated approval from the government authorities as we seek essential safety interventions along this dangerous stretch. We ask for protection and safety for all MCF beneficiaries, coworkers, and community members who use this road daily.
