Despite free education in Kenya, there continues to be a significant number of children in the slums like Kibera who are not in school. Our centre in Kianda, Kibera hosts our Prep and Transition Classes where children aged from 7 to 14 prepare to join or return to formal school. Each year we welcome 15 kids who have never been to school before, and 15 kids who have been to school but were forced to drop out along the way for various reasons.
This year 26 children from Kianda successfully completed their transition year and have now joined the Fountains of Hope Primary School. Four children who aren't quite ready will repeat the year in Kianda. Mary, in charge of the Kianda centre, is delighted that several children who joined Turning Point through the Kianda centre have scored over 300 marks in their KCPEs this year.
