About Mission 2 seafarers
A charitable Trust since 1921
Collectively there are an estimated 1.89m seafarers across the world operating on 74,000 ships. These men and women of all nationalities, spend up to nine months at sea, far from families, friends and loved ones.
With a history dating back to 1856, The non-profit organisation Mission to Seafarers supports the men and women working at sea when they need us most, as they experience loneliness and mental or physical health issues, combined with limited access to internet onboard ships.
M2S has over 200+ ports in 50 countries, operating day and night, 365 days a year. Mission to seafarers Mombasa is one of them since 1921.

Safe Harbour Stewardship
Why Safe Harbour ?
The mission’s facilities are limited and outdated, Seafarers and maritime-visitors today expect wellbeing, wellness, recreation in a tranquille environment and a place to stay.
Since nearly 3 acres out of the 4.5 acres on the site are not used Safe Harbour botanical gardens was born. a place for decompressing after long voyages or stressfull work . A place to calm the senses, protecting biodiversity while educating visitors.
A place not only open to seafarers and maritime workers but also to office staff, students, families, schools, companies, tourists to enjoy a day of the amenities. To walk, talk, breath, eat, drink, play and connect.
What is Safe Harbour adding?
When will Safe Harbour be opened?
