Korogocho Community Visit

On 5th September 2026, in partnership with Global Harmony Initiative, we spent a day in Korogocho, one of Nairobi's largest informal settlements.

We started with the children, playing games, running fun activities and simply spending time with them. In between the laughter, we talked to them about why school matters and encouraged them to keep learning no matter how hard things get. We also sat down with the women of the community for an open conversation. We discussed the value of educating their children, shared practical tips on everyday health care, and explored small income-generating activities they can start with little or no capital. For the teenagers, we held a separate guidance and counselling session where they could speak freely about the challenges they face and get advice on the choices ahead of them. Before we left, we donated books and clothes to the community, and each of the women received a gift hamper as a small token of our support. We wrapped up the day with a cake cutting ceremony, which brought everyone together and put big smiles on the children's faces. It was a humbling and meaningful day, and it reminded us how much a little time, care and encouragement can do. Your support helps us keep going back and reaching more families in communities like Korogocho. Before we left, each of them received a gift hamper as a small token of our support.
