By Emily Obiti | Field Worker
At the beginning of every new year, Social Worker Margaret begins the work of identifying new children to join our Children’s Centre in Kianda to begin their transition back to school.
The process involves meeting children with their parents or guardians and trying to assess their level of need. She then visits the home and continues to get to know the family. She joins with others to discuss each case and select the children most in need of our programme.
We don’t have the resources to accept every child who comes to our doors so we take seriously the admissions process to ensure that we have the greatest impact on kids who have the greatest needs.
Meeting with families, hearing their stories and witnessing the poverty in their homes brings home to Margaret the great need that exists in Kibera for our work.
We are grateful to all our supporters who enable us to continue our work, year on year, to see more children breaking out of a cycle of poverty through education.
