■ Where this takes you

Working in Child Case Management opens doors to making a real difference in the lives of vulnerable children across Kenya. Your skills will be essential in organizations and sectors dedicated to child welfare, protection, and development, where accurate case handling and compassionate care shape brighter futures.

  • You could work with government agencies like the Department of Children Services or at county social welfare offices, helping to manage cases involving child protection and family support.
  • Non-governmental organizations such as Save the Children Kenya, Plan International, or local children’s homes rely on skilled case managers to assess needs, develop care plans, and coordinate resources for children facing abuse, neglect, or hardship.
  • In the jua kali sector, community-based child protection groups and youth empowerment initiatives need your expertise to identify at-risk children and connect them to support services.
  • Your ability to use the Child Protection Management Information System (CPMIS) makes you valuable for roles in national and county child protection programs, ensuring data is accurate and accessible for informed decision-making.
  • With these skills, you can also start your own consultancy or social enterprise focused on child welfare assessments and case management training, serving schools, churches, and community organizations.
  • Mastering child case management means you become a trusted advocate and expert who can influence policies and improve child protection systems, creating lasting impact in Kenyan society.

By developing these skills, you’re not just gaining a job—you’re building a meaningful career that uplifts children and communities, making Kenya a safer and more hopeful place for every child. Your work matters, and your future is full of promise.
