Mission
As Kilimanjaro’s first Christian inpatient drug and alcohol recovery program in Tanzania, Kipepeo Rehabilitation Center exists to lead men trapped in addiction into reconciliation with God, restored identity, and lasting transformation through Christ- centered rehabilitation.
Vision
We envision men set free from drug and alcohol addiction through the transforming power of Jesus Christ, restored as men, who become faithful husbands, fathers, and leaders who transform families, communities, and the nation of Tanzania.
A Place Prepared for New Life
Kipepeo Ministries has been entrusted with a 1.5 acre property in the Kilimanjaro Region that will become a Christ Centered residential rehabilitation center for men seeking freedom from addiction. An existing home on the land is being prepared to provide a safe and structured environment where lives can be restored through faith, community, and practical support.
Through partnership and generosity, this property will become a place where healing begins, dignity restored, and transformation reaches beyond individuals to families and the wider region.
