Our children were born at the bottom.
Kibera is Kenya’s largest slum, home to 350,000 impoverished people. Over 50% are children.
The average household earns $4 per day
Home is a shack made of mud and rusting sheet metal, unplugged from all amenities. Parents commute four hours per day, children eat one meal and are left to fend for themselves as parents hustle hard for a handful of shillings that the faltering economy and indifferent society grants. Life is tough, for most, there is no hope. This is what we are committed to changing.
There are tens of thousands of children, young minds, full of potential, trapped in the vacuum of poverty.
