Learning continuity
School materials, attendance support and practical assistance can help reduce avoidable interruptions to a child's education.
Community partnership · Education · Dignity · Opportunity
Stand with children and families in Kiamaiko and the wider Mathare area. Help reduce barriers to learning, improve access to essential support and strengthen the community structures that help children remain safe, healthy and in school.
Programme descriptions are priorities for partnership and fundraising. Specific beneficiary numbers, budgets and delivery schedules will be published as they are verified.
Why community support matters
Kiamaiko is part of the wider urban community around Mathare in Nairobi. Like many densely populated urban neighbourhoods, households may face overlapping pressures such as irregular income, the cost of food and basic services, crowded living conditions and difficulty meeting the full costs associated with education and healthcare. These pressures do not define the community or its people; they help explain why reliable local support, strong schools and respectful partnerships matter.
Families bring knowledge, resilience, ambition and care for their children. Our aim is to work alongside them—not to speak for them—so that children can learn consistently, access support when needed and develop their abilities.
School materials, attendance support and practical assistance can help reduce avoidable interruptions to a child's education.
Access to nutritious meals can support concentration, participation and a more consistent school day.
Timely referrals, health education and support navigating appropriate services can protect children's wellbeing.
Respectful, practical family support can help caregivers respond to challenges and keep children connected to learning.
Our support programmes
Partners can support a complete programme, contribute to a defined activity or help meet an assessed individual need. Programme delivery will be subject to funding, eligibility criteria, safeguarding and operational capacity.

Partner opportunity: provide approved items, services, equipment or learning-space improvements.
Funding priorities
The funding tracker below is a publication template, not a live financial statement. Replace the sample zero values with figures approved by the programme finance team before publishing. Report the period, target, amount received, committed funds and remaining gap separately.
Illustrative reporting period: to be confirmed
Do not interpret these zero values as evidence that no support has ever been received. They are placeholders pending verified programme accounts and reporting dates.
Partnership pipeline
We welcome conversations with foundations, corporate social responsibility teams, faith-based organisations, community groups, individual philanthropists and development partners.
Request a concept note or proposal for child sponsorship, school meals, healthcare access, family support or learning resources. Proposals should include objectives, target group, activities, budget and monitoring plan.
Discuss co-designed programmes, restricted grants, in-kind contributions, employee volunteering or technical assistance aligned with partner priorities.
Partners can request a programme budget, milestones, implementation updates and a financial/acquittal report appropriate to the agreed contribution.
Accountability & recognition
We value financial contributions, professional expertise, goods, services and long-term partnerships. Recognition is provided with the contributor’s permission and in accordance with child safeguarding and privacy standards.
Partner logos, names and approved descriptions will appear here after written permission and verification. We will distinguish confirmed partners from prospective partners and applicants.
Donors may choose public recognition, anonymous giving or recognition by contribution category. We will not publish personal contact details, beneficiary identities or sensitive case information.
A route to request help
A parent, caregiver or individual may submit a request for consideration where a specific urgent situation is affecting a child’s education, safety or essential wellbeing. Requests are reviewed confidentially and fairly, subject to available resources and verification.
This is an initial enquiry, not a guarantee of financial or material assistance. The form is routed to the programme contact email for review.
