Feed 200 Children Living in Kibera Slum

When schools reopened earlier this year, excitement filled the classrooms — but alongside the joy, we carried out something equally important: a growth and health monitoring exercise for the children in our School Feeding Programme.

Currently supporting 196 children from ECDE to Primary level, the programme continues to prioritise not only learning, but overall wellbeing. The exercise was implemented in partnership with Shining Hope for Communities (SHOFCO), whose collaboration strengthened the medical and technical support provided on the day. Each child’s growth was monitored carefully, and deworming tablets were administered to promote better nutrient absorption and overall health.

Importantly, the deworming exercise extended beyond the children. Teachers and staff also received the tablets — a reflection of our belief that care should embrace the entire community. When those who nurture and teach our children are healthy, the impact multiplies.

Our Feeding Programme Manager, who oversaw the exercise, shared an encouraging reflection, “This year’s monitoring exercise was especially meaningful. We have seen visible improvement in many of the children’s health. Their growth patterns are stronger, their energy levels are higher, and their concentration in class has improved. Partnering with SHOFCO has helped us strengthen this process even further. It reminds us that consistent nutrition truly changes lives.”

The change is not only visible at school — it is felt at home. One parent shared with joy, “I have seen such a difference in my child. Before, they would get tired easily and fall sick often. Now their face is brighter, they are more active, and they wake up excited for school. The feeding programme has really brought life back to my child.” 

A daily meal may seem simple, but its impact is profound. remarks like these remind us that a daily meal is never just a meal. It is strength. It is focus. It is the quiet foundation upon which education stands.

As you read this report, we hope you see the deeper impact of your support. Because of you, over 190 children are not only attending school — they are growing stronger, healthier, and more hopeful each term.

We warmly invite you to continue partnering with us in this vital work. Your generosity sustains more than a feeding programme; it safeguards children’s health, strengthens their learning, and nurtures their future. Together, we can ensure that every child we serve is nourished in body, mind, and possibility.

The school feeding programme continues to bring smiles, strength, and steady growth to the students in our education programme. During the growth and monitoring exercise conducted in the final week of the third term, we were delighted to record an improvement of over 75% in the overall health and nutritional wellbeing of the pupils. Many children have shown visible signs of healthy development — brighter faces, increased energy in class, and a renewed enthusiasm for learning.

Our Feeding Programme Manager, Mildred Murai, shared a bright and spirited reflection during the exercise, expressing her joy at seeing the results of our collective effort: “It’s such a wonderful thing to see how much the children have grown — not just in height, but in health and happiness. You can truly see the impact of a good meal shared with love.” Her words perfectly captured the heart of this initiative.

We remain deeply grateful to our donors whose continued support makes all this possible. Every contribution goes a long way in nourishing not only the children’s bodies but also their dreams. As we look forward to the coming term, we invite you to continue partnering with us to sustain and expand this life-changing programme. Together, we can keep the smiles bright and the hearts full.
