Kibera Lutheran School Update
Posted on July 14th, 2010 by Kirsty
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.

News from St. Andrews Baby Unit
Posted on June 8th, 2010 by Kirsty
It has been a while since a new face has appeared at the St. Andrews Baby Unit. I’ve come to know the eleven little ones who are there and love spending time with them at the weekends.
