We are thrilled to share the significant achievements made possible by your generous support over the past three months in our after-school programme. The turnout of students has reached unprecedented levels, and we attribute this success to the combined factors of our program's popularity and the incorporation of arts, dance, and daily meals for underprivileged children in Kibra.
Our activities within the centre not only provided a creative outlet for the students but also ensured that they were well-nourished, which had a positive impact on their physical and mental health.
The teenagers who prepared our food under the supervision of our resident chef and volunteer parents not only learned important life lessons like teamwork and collaboration, but they also instilled in themselves a sense of pride and ownership in the meals they prepared. This hands-on involvement in meal preparation enabled the students to feel a sense of responsibility.
Through your generous support, we were able to provide 27634 meals to children who participated in our programmes. As a result, they developed a stronger connection to their food and a greater appreciation for the effort invested in meal preparation.
Looking ahead, we are excited to inform you of our plans to enhance our curriculum. We are incorporating food production and gardening activities to help students understand the journey of food from seed to plate. By doing so, we aim to create a platform for children to grasp the significance of sustainable food systems and comprehend the impact of their choices on the environment. This hands-on approach empowers them to make healthier food choices and take ownership of their overall well-being. Once again, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for your continuous support, which has played a pivotal role in making these positive changes possible.
