Educate slum child in Kenya

Your support towards the education project in the six informal schools enabled needy school children receive a better education. All the six schools recorded improved performances as compared to 2015, this is due to a number of factors including volunteer teachers and mentors exemplary services in the schools. This project continue to positively impact on the education of over 300 needy students in Ruaraka. 

During the year 2016, the project engaged a total of 14 volunteer teachers and 9 mentors in the six partner schools. They provided teaching and mentorship services for students and this helped improve academic standards of students. Teaching program took place every day from Monday to Friday for the three terms period and the mentorship program placed volunteer mentors once a week to hold sessions on different topics in the schools.

We are happy the project is a success as more children are becoming more literate. This meets our goal of educating slum kids to finish school with a high level of literacy.

For 2017 program, our assessment on reading materials in the schools revealed that the schools are ill-equipped with learning materials. Our call for support this December is therefore to help these six non-formal schools acquire reading and learning materials enough for the 300 students who are the direct beneficiaries of the project. We do appreciate your commitment and continued support to this project.
