Here are some pictures from the areas we are working in.  We hope these help to give you a feel for the desperate needs of the children. Click on the small pictures below to view them full size.  

We also have a database driven picture gallery which you might like to visit which has pictures of most of our projects.  Choose Photo Gallery from the menu, or click here.

Kibera is one of the largest slums in Africa and, indeed, in the world. It is currently estimated to be home to about one million people.

Kibera just goes on and on... Families of up to 9 or 10 live in what could only be described as boxes.  Just a few feet wide and barely big enough to sit up in.

This is the entrance to someone's house in Kibera.

This is the pathway to the School of Hope.  There are no sewers and no drainage.  The stinking alleys between the houses are filled with rotting rubbish and human excrement.  The hardest thing to come to terms with is that this to them is normal.

This is Woodley School in Kibera. This is one of the better schools on the outskirts of Kibera.  A summer team of volunteers held a kids club and provided them with food.

St. Juliet's school.  Vision Africa helps this school by providing equipment, food and uniforms.

Both animals and people look for scraps of food from the heaps of rotting rubbish.
