Safety Concerns Without Sufficient Kitchen Facilities
The lack of a proper kitchen made it difficult for both staff and the pupils to work and study food preparation and nutrition. A poorly structured kitchen can result in accidents within the kitchen and poor handling of food.
New Kitchen Improves Safety Standards and Educational Opportunities
The donation from Luena Foundation was used to improve the school kitchen structure to enhance nutrition education, school kitchen management, and overall hygiene practices.
Meet our Partner Community-Based Organization
Christ’s Victory Centre (CVC) is a registered Community-Based Organization that was established solely by a group of refugees from the Democratic Republic of the Congo in September 2009. CVC is located along Thika Road in Githurai 45, right outside Nairobi, Kenya. The idea of creating CVC came from the revelation that our founders received from the Bible in the book of Jeremiah 29:5-7: “… I must contribute to the peace, development and prosperity of the host country” (Kenya).
