We are a 3-year-old charity supporting disadvantaged children in Kenya through educational initiatives, our primary project being an Enrichment Club.
THE CHALLENGE
We empower children who are marginalised, to break free from poverty and discrimination in the most vulnerable living conditions in Kenya – a slum in Nairobi called Deep Sea. Eclipsed by other larger slums, Deep Sea is not on the radar of big charities. Our social and academic programmes are built within and driven by the community we serve.
49% of Kenyan children don’t complete primary education
