Located in Kenya, with 1 million residents, Kibera is Africa’s largest slum. Increasing poverty, HIV/AIDS, ethnic violence, and an ongoing food crisis pose great threats to Kibera’s residents. Many children raised in this environment are unable to attend school. Often they are left alone at home and seek companionship on the streets where they are vulnerable to abuse. This project offers a unique alternative for the children: a safe place where they are educated and receive the love and care necessary for growth.

The project provides orphans and vulnerable children ages 3-7 with early education, two daily meals, a school uniform and supplies, and the attention and care of a dedicated teaching and support staff at the Agape Community Centre. This program will insure educational opportunities, good nutrition and care for 85 children to help them lead healthier more productive lives; enable parents to take advantage of employment opportunities; and offer local solution to help families in Kibera to avoid hunger.
