Feed 200 Children Living in Kibera Slum

The school year finally ended and achievements were celebrated as the children who performed and members of staff were given prizes. This year’s prize giving was special not only were the teachers celebrated for their work but also the kitchen staff were recognised.

We have spoken about Mama Judy and Millie before but apart from ensuring the kids take their meals on time, they have been playing another important role. These two women are the first to get in at dawn to prep for breakfast and therefore are among the first to interact with the children when they get to school and at the breakfast and lunch line, as they chat with the kids. It is in these moments that their motherly instincts kick in, they take mental notes of the kids they notice behaving differently or the child who came in crying or moody and they raise these issues with the social workers, Margaret and Daniel.

As we recognise the many meals they have prepared and served for the 117 students the entire year, without fail, we also recognise their passion and love for these children and we are reminded that the feeding program goes beyond ensuring the students are healthy and in school. The programme, through our kitchen staff, provides some of these children the opportunity to be loved on in small but significant ways.

We are truly thankful for your support during the entire year and we are looking forward to continuing our partnership in the coming year. Your partnership, just like Mama Millie and Mama Judy, makes a difference in the lives of each child in our school.
