AIM Care: Missionary Counselling

Since 1991, AIM Care has provided counselling and support services for missionaries at the Tumaini Counselling Center in Nairobi, Kenya. Missionary life has its unique situations and challenges, and our trained counselors at Tumaini, who are missionaries themselves, are dedicated to strengthening and guiding God’s servants as they follow His call.

Counseling services are provided primarily at our Karen (Nairobi), Kenya and Kampala, Uganda offices. In situations when it is appropriate, we also provide distance counseling services over secure video conference platforms such as Zoom.

Both offices have loaning libraries for the missionary community’s use. The Karen office as peaceful gardens with a large pavilion with picnic tables as well as a large conference hall for meetings.
