We are doing this in aid of Hope 4 Kibera a recently launched charity which aims to fund the opening and running of a school in the Kibera slum in Nairobi, Kenya. The Kibera is the largest urban slum in Africa and home to about a million people living in poverty, where families fight the daily battle for survival against all the diseases of poverty. Hope 4 Kibera is a charity that has been set up to support the works of a local Kenyan Charity 'Swahiba Networks', who have been working in the slums for the last 7 years. Swahiba's principle aim is to provide holistic support to secondary school children and their families. Swahiba had the vision of opening a free school in order to enable more children to complete their education. The school was built; however, there are currently no sustainable funds to open and operate it. This is where Hope 4 Kibera comes in! With your help Swahiba can do even more to support the Kibera community.
