Most families living in Kibera slum cannot afford 3 meals a stay. This is mainly becuase low income. An average family of 5 depend on an income of $ 1.25 a day. This sitiation makes it difficult for families to take their children to school. A per our recent survey, an average student misses 3 month of school per year because they cannot pay school fees.
Lack of access to quality and afforable education has left many families to deal with the consequences of their children not going to school. Some of the effects include: Early pregancy, drug abuse, crime and violence among others. The Covid-19 situation has made the situation worse, most families lost their sources of income, businesses were shut down and others have been forced to located.
