Return vulnerable children from Kibera to School

As the holidays draw to a close, many children in Kibera are preparing to return to school with renewed hope for the year ahead. For some, this season marks more than the end of a holiday—it marks a second chance. Through this project, we are helping children step back into classrooms, carrying not just books and uniforms, but restored confidence and hope for their future.

Turning Point Trust continues to transform lives by removing the barriers that keep vulnerable children out of school. With access to education, care, and ongoing support, children are able to dream again, focus on learning, and imagine a future filled with opportunity. We have seen learners return with brighter outlooks, improved attendance, and a growing belief that they belong and can succeed.

As we look ahead to the new year, we are excited to welcome new children, who have been out of school, into our education programmes and walk with them on their learning journey. We look forward to seeing the impact this programme will have in the lives of these children.

We invite you to continue giving so that many more out-of-school children can return to school, access holistic quality education, and have their hope restored. Thank you for making these new beginnings possible.

Education is more than reading and writing — it’s the gateway to opportunity, confidence, and a brighter future. That’s why this programme is dedicated to identifying and supporting out-of-school children, helping them return to the classroom where they belong.

The impact has been significant. Returning to school not only equips the children with essential academic skills but also helps them develop discipline, resilience, and aspirations for their future. Beyond the classroom, students gain access to opportunities for self-discovery and personal growth.

As one student, Brandy, expressed:

"School has been so much fun! When I first came back to school, I was nervous, but now I look forward to every day. The teachers I’ve joined the Debate Club, which has helped me speak with confidence. I also enjoyed the school trip we went on just before we closed school. It was my first time on a merry-go-round, and it was amazing! Every day I get to learn something new, and I feel like I can try anything now. Being in school has made me believe in myself again." - Brian, Grade 4.

This testimony reflects the broader transformation taking place among children in the Turning Point Education Programme — from uncertainty about the future to renewed hope and ambition. We aim at identifying, enrolling, and supporting children who have been out of school, providing them with the opportunity to access holistic quality education and secure a promising future.

This programme is not simply about re-enrollment; it is about creating pathways to success, reducing the risk of long-term educational disadvantage, and investing in the next generation of leaders. With continued collaboration and support from you, we aim to ensure that no child is left behind, and that every child and young person in our community has the chance to learn, grow, and thrive.

Thank you for being a part of restoring hope and transforming the lives of these children.
