Teachers Provide Care and Support for Children
Aswani Kizito’s Project of Hope initiative has been operating in the Kawangware slum since 2010. In the past 14 years, they have educated over 330 children free of charge through primary school and enrolled countless into secondary schools and vocational schools. Services and support for the children are provided by volunteer teachers who do not receive a regular salary.
Support Provides Stability and Essential Care for Children
The donation from Luena Foundation was used to provide stipends to the teachers who care for the children at Aswani Kizito’s Project of Hope. This encourages the teachers in their work and alleviates some of their own financial pressures.
Meet our Partner Community-Based Organization
Aswani Kizito’s Project of Hope is a project to build a new home for orphaned children who are currently living in the slums of Kawangare and who so deserve the care and attention we have to offer them. We want to create a Children’s Centre, based in a new community development in Kitengela, that offers them the space in which to can grow and develop, receive an education, and eventually become productive members of society.
