The Lutheran school was started by church members who came together to give the big population of Kibera children a place they can call a school. Kibera being the largest slum in Sub-Saharan Africa has an estimated population of 1million people where 60% are young people and children. This population has overtaken the education facilities in the area forcing churches, organisations and donors to invest more in education by providing a place for children to learn. These schools are known as non-formal schools and Lutheran School falls under this category.

I wish we could bottle the energy and excitement that was in the air in Kibera on the 19th February 2010. If we could share that feeling, it would help people understand why Vision Africa does the work it does for disadvantaged children. This day saw the inaugural Kibera Schools Music Festival hosted by Kibera Mpira Mtaani*.
Update from Nyamwanga
Posted on January 8th, 2010 by Kirsty
The year started very well with a big number of the Nyamwanga community being recruited to join school. The free primary school has brought in a lot of children who turn up to benefit from this programme.
I thank God and secondly our donor for bring us this far. The children were fed all days during school times despite the global financial crisis.
