I had a group of 6 families of which i managed to donate some clothes to them and some donations were sent to the needy children within the slum.

We do start-up businesses for families with much more needs that we cant support. We give them change to select small businesses that we can afford to fund. Currently, we have a lady in Kibera slum who is a fish monger but she started by selling scrumbled bread. below is the busineses we have aided as part of growth in the slum.

Rice distribution in the Slum. We do feed the poor and give them another day of living. Below are the Pictures of some of the families we donate rice to.

Kibera, the infamous slum in Nairobi—Kenya’s capital—, is viewed as “the biggest, largest and poorest slum in Africa.” After the First World War, the British government allowed the Nubians to settle in a forest1 at the edge of Nairobi, as a reward for their service. However, after Kenya’s independence, the government claimed this land as its own. Nubians continued to built and spread urbanization in Kibera, welcoming new comers from all over the country. Nowadays, Kibera is surrounded by the richest areas of Nairobi and it is also close to the industrial area. These two areas provide job opportunities that attract rural Kenyans. There are approximatly 2.5 million slum dwellers in about 200 settlements in Nairobi representing 60% of the Nairobi population and occupying just 6% of the land. Kibera houses about 250,000 of these people. Kibera is the biggest slum in Africa and one of the biggest in the world.

This blog was created to give people living in poverty a chance to speak out about their experiences, challenges, aspirations and ideas. The blog is organized by two founders, from Kenya and Switzerland. We feed, we treat, we teach and we provide. Giving is art of sharing.
