The 12th day of January was a special day both for the Kibera community and the Children of Kibera Foundation. In our quest to expand the access to quality education to orphans and vulnerable children in Kibera Slums, 115 children carefully selected from across all the 12 villages making up the Kibera slum can now smile all the way to school because they received a 1 year bursary courtesy of Children of Kibera Foundation. This money is meant for their tuition, basic school supplies and uniforms. We believe that this scheme will help more children go through their education with a little ‘burden’ lifted off their parents’ shoulders as it is not full scholarship.
It being our first bursary scheme we pride in casting our net wide and enabling even more kids from Kibera stay in school. Seeing the beaming smiles in the packed hall, it goes without saying that this scheme has blown an air of relief across all the villages in Kibera.
“Seeing more children go to school in January, that is Christmas for me”
