Kibera Mpira Mtaani is using soccer to reach out to the youths in Kibera slums. Through soccer tournaments and after-school tuition they are educating youths in lifeskills and academic subjects.
Kibera is one of the world’s largest slums where families live hand to mouth. Parents spend little time with their children who are often left loitering & uneducated on lifeskills. 60% of children attend informal schools suffering from lack of resources & unqualified teachers, impacting the standard of education. According to Chairman Vincent, Kibera Mpira Mtaani addresses these issues as they use education and sports to create “well rounded young people who can change the future for Kibera”.
KMM offers children a safe place to do homework with tuition to add to what they learn in school. KMM also hosts soccer tournaments for c2000 youths, inviting organisations to counsel players & spectators on issues like HIV/AIDS & reproductive health
The library has 500+ students registered who should achieve higher grades & go further in life. Health education reduces spread of HIV & teenage pregnancy while soccer tournaments offer a focus for youths in holidays, reducing crime in the community.
I see that Kibera Mpira Mtaani is helping our children.It has prevented those who used to leave school and go roaming from doing that. Also it helps those children who don't understand some subjects.
