Ensuring No Child Goes Hungry
The feeding program for children in the slums of Kibera and Kawangware is a comprehensive initiative designed to combat malnutrition and hunger among the most vulnerable. The program includes an in-school feeding scheme that guarantees every school-going child receives both breakfast and lunch, ensuring they have the necessary energy and nutrition to focus and thrive academically.
Additionally, a lunchtime feeding program is established where children from various schools congregate at a central location each school day to receive a nutritious meal. To further support those who lack adequate food at home, the program also provides an early dinner, ensuring that no child goes to bed hungry. This multifaceted approach not only addresses immediate nutritional needs but also fosters a sense of community and stability for the children, empowering them to pursue their education and dreams with better health and vitality.

Nourishing Hope: Th
e Early Dinner Program in Kibra
In the heart of Kibera, where hunger too often steals childhoods, the Early Dinner Program stands as a beacon of hope. For many children here, an evening meal is never guaranteed. Empty stomachs keep them from focusing in school, dimming their dreams before they even have a chance to shine.
That’s why we created this lifeline. Every evening at Karama Academy, children gather not just for a meal, but for strength, dignity, and a chance to thrive. A warm, nutritious dinner becomes more than foodit’s the fuel that helps them learn, grow, and believe in a brighter tomorrow.

By offering a nutritious and balanced meal, the Sunday Feeding Program ensures that children have access to essential nutrients even when they are not in school. The program alleviates the strain on families struggling to provide enough food, promoting better health and stability for the children.
