Church Missionary Society (CMS) started the Center in 1957 with a purpose of providing social welfare and psychological support to the immigrants from the rural areas who had settled in Pumwani area of Nairobi. The Centre is one of the institutions of Anglican Church of Kenya which is under Nairobi Diocese.

Over the years, the approaches and scope of social development work has been changing positively in transforming lives through an empowerment approach.
