Harambee Child Development Center

Welcome to the Harambee Child Development Center (HCDC) web site! HCDC opened its doors in October 2004.  It is a job creation and early childhood development initiative of the Kanawha Institute for Social Research & Action, Inc. (KISRA). KISRA is the faith-based and community-serving arm of Ferguson Memorial Baptist Church, where Rt. Rev. Emanuel Alphonso Heyliger has served as senior pastor since May 1980.  The mission of KISRA is to assess, develop and implement educational and socio-economic initiatives that empower and serve the people of our community.  Towards this end, our initiatives are in the areas of education, employment and economic empowerment. To learn more about KISRA checkout www.kisra.org.
