Children Need Consistent and Healthy Meals
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. All of the children who are served by this program receive three meals per day, which is a significant expense for the organization.
Food Program Provides Essential Support for Well-Being
The donation from Luena Foundation was used to purchase food to support the nutrition program of three healthy meals each day for the children. In addition, the donation helped to purchase mattresses to upgrade the bedding that is provided for children.
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.
