Celebrating Five Years of Integrity, Vision and Excellence.



The evening was breathtakingly beautiful; the ambiance just right and full of promise for this special event. So much preparation had gone in for this special day; the music, the food, the drinks… All was set for the celebration of Children of Kibera Foundation’s 5th anniversary.
 Guests arrived. Ladies looking stunning in their dresses and the men looking dashing in their suits and African attires. We would have loved it if all our donors, partners, friends and supporters from all over the world could have joined us but wherever they were, we knew that they also share in the joy of that special evening. We had so many guests that came to embrace and celebrate the success and accomplishments of CoKF for the last 5years.Amongst them we had our scholarship beneficiaries, teachers, parents, friends and various supporters.
The celebrations officially started with an electrifying performance by Kayamba Africa that got everyone dancing gracefully all round the room. This was then followed by deep reflections of just how much CoKF has achieved with great help from our donors, partners and friends. Through them, CoKF has been able to touch and greatly change the lives of so many children in Kibera. It has offered them something so beautiful, it has offered them hope. Hope that they can achieve anything they set their minds to and that they can achieve their dreams. It has indeed been a fruitful and tremendous journey. We have even seen the very first group of students to join High school program now join University.
We had some of our scholars, friends and supporters express their sentiments and talk about their journey and experience with CoKF.   
Four years ago, I never had the dream of going to a good high school but today I see my dreams of joining Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) almost coming true. Thanks to CoKF” – Attellah


 CoKF is full of gratitude and largely at awe to all who have come with us this far. Our dream is to continue to give this beautiful gift of education to many more children and touch more lives.
It was an evening full of laughter, dance, deep reflections and even greater plans for next year. We are grateful and highly appreciate the efforts of everyone who has made it possible for Children of Kibera Foundation to come this far.
