Bringers of Joy Education Centre is a Community Based Organization (CBO) registered through the ministry of Gender, Children & Social Development, certificate no. A8428.

The organization initially started as a Self Help Group (SHG) in January 2004, by 25 women as a merry-go round. After a period of 3 months the group started visiting the sickly within the slums of mathare and assisted the sickly with the money that the group had contributed. After sometime the group realized that a good number of children from poor families and others orphaned by HIV/AIDS pandemic were not attending school due to lack of financial assistance and also that school places were limited.
