Education
We believe that an investment in education is an investment in future and that it is critical to lifelong positive transformation in a child’s life.
Sadly, quality education is beyond the reach of thousands of children in Kibera slums. We aim to give hope, we aim to touch lives. Children of Kibera foundation has identified 50 children to support in 2012. These are orphans and vulnerable children who desperately need your help.
How you can help
Donate $ 200 and see 1 child through 1 year of education. This is what your 200$ will do:
- Basic school supplies
- School uniform
- Basic healthcare and other “hidden costs” such as: fuel for cooking lunches, cash to pay teachers for extra tutoring etc
