We Are
Friends of Kibera
Since 2019 we have already supported more than 400 children
with education in Kibera, Kenya
Our vision and mission
The Friends of Kibera Foundation was established in 2019 after we heard about the existence of the Oloo Children Centre through colleagues/family and a friendly relationship was established with the founder of the school. The aim of the Foundation is to support Oloo's Children Centre in Kibera, Nairobi, Kenya with money and where relevant with our knowledge.
Oloo's Children Center was established to provide education to children from the Kibera slum with the ultimate goal of offering as many children as possible opportunities to escape the poverty spiral
to come. Primary education offers opportunities for further education; further education is a minimum requirement for a regular job. The slum has no government-funded education. Schools like this largely depend on the voluntary efforts of fellow residents and donations from third parties.
The board of the Foundation carries out its work on an entirely voluntary basis.

Annual Report
In order to be able to inform potential donors as best as possible about the school, we maintain contact with the Oloo Children Center in Kibera. This is done directly through online meetings with school staff and indirectly through (Dutch) family and colleagues working in Nairobi. At these meetings it is discussed how we can support the school as best as possible in the short and long term. Activities in the Netherlands mainly concern raising funds and donors.
