Meet the students who are changing the face of Kibera slum.  Your donation is making a difference. 

Faith. 19 years. Women Empowerment Program. 

Out of passion and her past experiences, Faith initiated the idea of women empowerment program. Her passion is that women and girls will access to safe space and technological skills. For the past two months, faith has mentored over 20 girls and supported them in getting computer skills. Her program targets young mothers, girls who are not in school and thoe who have been forcefully married. Her target is to reach 100 girls by June. 

 

Mathias. 20 years, Pop-Up Library. 

Mathias had an experinece with grade 4 kids who do not know how to read and write well. This is why he started the library project. The project has so far taught 30 kids  to read and write. These kids are from the Kibera slum. Mathia's dream is to one day, build a library in every school in Kibera. Most schools in Kibera who do not have enough books. 

 

Joseph. 22 years, Kibera Clean Up. 

One of the challenges Kibera slum face is poor drainage, which majorly contributed by people throwing trash everywhere. What is this problem could be solved and at the same time create employment for jobless youth. This is the idea the Joseph came up with. He has so far cleaned an area of about 5km. 5 youth have benefitted from his ideas in terms of job creation. 

 

These students have been part of Garden of Hope Foundation's leadership development and entrepreneurship programs. The programs aims to equip high graduates or those who have dropped out of school with leadership and entreprenurship skills.
