Amazing week...!!!
The sun is already high over Kibera when the first children drift in, plastic bowls in hand. Someone has lit the jiko; the smell of githeri mixes with dust and laughter, and for a moment the lane feels wider than it is.
This is our Saturday feeding programme — not a handout line, but a gathering. Plates go round. Someone teases a shy child until she grins. A volunteer bends low to explain a sum on a scrap of paper while steam rises from the sufuria.
The week feels “amazing” when the smallest things hold: a second helping for a teenager who is growing fast, a quiet word to a caregiver who has not slept, a borrowed pen that returns at the end of the day.
When we say it has been an amazing week, we mean the ordinary miracle of it: bellies fuller, voices braver, adults and children sharing the same patch of shade. The work is simple on paper — cook, serve, listen — and deep in practice.
It is not perfect. Sometimes the rain arrives before the tarp is tied. Sometimes the numbers surprise us and we have to stretch. But the joy is real — the kind that comes from doing something useful together.
If you have ever wanted to be part of something that feels immediately real, this is it. Walk with us on a Saturday: volunteer, partner, or send support through M-PESA so we can keep the fire going and the portions honest.
Bring comfortable shoes. Bring curiosity. Leave with your hands smelling like smoke and your chest a little fuller — that is the kind of “amazing” we mean.
Day of an African Child 2026
The Day of the African Child was successfully celebrated, bringing together stakeholders from Kibra and Lang’ata Constituencies in a remarkable display of unity, collaboration, and shared commitment to the well-being of children. The event highlighted the strength and impact of collective action through the partnership and dedication of member groups of the Kibera Gender Advocacy Network (KGAN), local and international organizations, government ministries, and local administration. Their combined efforts demonstrated the importance of multi-stakeholder engagement in advancing children's rights and welfare. A notable highlight of the celebration was the participation of the Kenyan Judiciary. The event was honored by the presence of the Chief Magistrate of Kibera Law Courts, Hon. Anne Mwangi, together with her team of magistrates led by Hon. Christine Njagi. They dedicated time to engage with participants, grace the occasion, and lead by example by not only planting trees but also in promoting the protection and empowerment of children.
