Help Construct a Vocational Building in Kibera

Construction of the vocational school commenced in April 2024.The Vocational school will be a two storey building with a capacity to hold 150 people at a time. Skills such as plumbing, electrical maintenance, fashion & design, entreprenurship will be offered at the School. The school will also provide a community meeting space and a community library which will be open to all school going children within Kibera. Therefore, the vocational school will be a key promoter of education to underserved children and youths in Kibera. 

To date, construction is at the ground floor level where the walling works are at 80% completion. The success of this construction has been due to the generous donations from well-wishers, strategic partnerships with local youths who have been providing  labour and the positive engagement with the local authorities. This has created a great sense of community engagement and ownership. It is expected that construction works will be completed by July 2025 and the building will be ready for use.

Currently, construction is on a break as fundraising efforts continue. There is still a great need for funding in order to complete the project within the projected timeline. The total project budget is $100,000. Thanks to your generous support, $29,600 has been raised. There is still a funding need of $70,400 which is required in order to make the project a reality.

We appreciate all the support the project has received and we look forward to more partnerships as we make the vocational school a reality for the youths of Kibera slums.
