HOLIDAY FEEDING PROGRAM – KOROGOCHO

For many children in Korogocho, a plate of food is not just a meal, it is survival.

During school days, they depend on school breakfast and lunch to get through the day, and this has been a motivating factor for school daily attendance.

But now that schools are closed, they are left with nothing. And for some, the only alternative is returning to the dumpsites to search for food scraps.
This is the heartbreaking reality we are working to change.

This November_December holiday, Shaber Slums Dream Team, in partnership with Christian Family School, is running a Holiday Feeding Program to ensure that our children are safe, nourished, valued, and supported.

Why This Feeding Program Matters Deeply:

✅ Prevents children from going to the dumpsites where they face health risks, abuse, and trauma in search of food remains.
✅ Provides weekly nutrition to keep their bodies healthy and minds strong
✅ Creates a safe space where children are seen, guided, and loved
✅ Strengthens relationships between children, teachers, mentors, and caregivers
✅ Keeps children positively engaged during a long holiday that is often very vulnerable
✅ Builds hope, dignity, and belonging — no child should feel forgotten
✅ Supports learners’ well-being so they return to school in January energized and ready
This is not just feeding, it is protection, mentorship, and love in action.

This is who we are. Love and Serve People to Life. ❤️

We Are Calling On You — Yes, YOU 🙏
To stand with us, walk with us, and help us sustain this program.
Your support today can keep a child safe, nourished, and smiling tomorrow.
You can support with: 🍚 Food Items (rice, beans, maize flour, cooking oil, vegetables)

💰 Financial or Cash Donations

Happy World Teachers’ Day to our amazing teachers.

Today, we pause to honor the teachers who carry the heart of our community.
Those who teach in small classrooms, community centers, and even unfinished construction sites, driven not by pay, but by purpose.

They are the reason many children in Korogocho can read, dream, and believe that a better tomorrow is possible.

Even when resources are few and challenges are many, they continue to show up with love, patience, and hope.

At Shaber Slums Dream Team, we celebrate these everyday heroes who keep the spirit of education alive.
Your work inspires us to keep pushing for a future where every child has access to learning and opportunity.

Happy World Teachers’ Day!

From all of us at Shaber Slums Dream Team. Standing with our teachers, always.

💔 A Cry for 50 Children We Rescued from the Streets 💔
Not long ago, we at Shaber Slums Dream Team collaborating with Christian Family School Korogocho rescued over 50 children from the streets and dumpsites of Korogocho. With joy and hope, we enrolled them in school, gave them uniforms, learning materials, and even trained their mothers in entrepreneurship to support their families, some of whom have begun their journey of independence by implementing the areas of their training.

But today, our hearts are heavy. Because we couldn’t raise enough for school fees and feeding programs, 30 of those children have been sent home. Many of them are now drifting back to the very places we rescued them from, the streets and dumpsites.

This is breaking our mission. Once a child goes back, it becomes harder to rescue them again.

We are reaching out for help. We urgently need friends, partners, sponsors, and well-wishers who can support these children to remain in school not just today, but consistently.
We believe no child should have to choose between hunger and education.
If you, your friend, your organisation, or your church can help us sponsor these children, please reach out. Together, we can give them the stability they deserve.

Without support, many will go back to the very places we rescued them from, the streets and dumpsites. If this happens, rescuing them again will be even harder.

Your support can change the story for these 50 children and many more to come.
Your support will keep these children in school, where they belong.

How You Can Help
• Sponsor a child’s school fees (A dopt a child)
• Support the feeding program
• Share this appeal with others who can help
• Donate food items directly to the school to support the feeding program.

Payment Details
• Paybill Number: 522533
• A/C No: 7995761
• A/C Name: Shaber Slums Dream Team

📞 For Inquiries & Partnerships:

🙏🏽 Let’s not allow these children’s dreams to be cut short. Together, we can give them a stable future.

Did you know that many children in informal settlements are forced into child labour instead of attending school due to poverty? Some works in the dumpsite for various reasons. This robs them of their right to education and a dignified childhood.

Early this year, the team from CFM rescued over 50 children from the street and dumpsites, and they were all enrolled in the school.

As an organisation, we have managed to give over 23 children full school uniforms and other learning materials.

We have also managed to empower a number of women whom among them are the parents to the rescued children with different skills to stabilise them and to reduce their dependency rate.

We are planning to support their school fee payment to keep them in school and school feeding program, a mong other programmes that will help them gain their confidence and help them maximise on their potential.

That's why we are reaching out so that you can support us in this cause.

Our role is to:
✅ Advocate for every child’s right to quality education.
✅ Work with parents, community health promoters (CHPs), and schools to ensure children are enrolled and retained in class.
✅ Support families through organisations' initiatives that address poverty and reduce the risks that push children into labour.

💬 The big question remains:

👉 How can we balance poverty with children’s education to ensure no child is left behind?

Join our cause today and put a smile on a child’s face. Walk with us in restoring their dignity and by giving them a meaningful life.

Reach out to us, let's know how we walk together ❤️ and touch lives together ❤️.

At Shaber Slums Dream Team, we exist to rewrite the story of women in the slums. Every day, women here face barriers, poverty, lack of access to digital tools, and limited opportunities. Yet with just a spark of support, their potential can shine. ✨

Three months ago, through partnering with , Madam Victoria Victor through the referral of Madam Violet Odhiambo we supported 10 women from our community to a Digital Learning Academy.

🎓 Some of those women Nelly Achieng Mwalo, Emmaculate Ouma Nyangacha, and the rest successfully graduated last weekend a proof that when opportunity meets determination, transformation happens.

We extend our congratulatory messages to the graduants for being exemptional and for using the opportunity well. We now encourage them to come back and share, as they give back to the community, directly or through the organisation.

🚫 Others could not graduate because they lacked the basic digital gadgets and some could not afford data to join their online classes. Yes, it's true that these women are so vulnerable to an extent that data is luxury to them.

👉 This is where Shaber’s role becomes critical. We walk with women who are often forgotten, identifying opportunities, mobilizing resources, mentoring, and giving them the courage to believe in themselves. Without us, most would never even step into such programs.

But we cannot do it alone. 💔
🌍 Our dream is bigger:
• To provide digital gadgets for women and youth.
• To sponsor tuition, graduation, and skills training.
• To create sustainable mentorship and entrepreneurship programs that break cycles of poverty.
• To ensure no woman in Korogocho is left behind because of poverty.

Today we celebrate those who graduates not just as individuals, but as symbols of what’s possible when women in the slums are given a chance. But we also raise our voice for the rest who were left behind because their dreams matter too.

This is why we need YOU. Donors, partners, well-wishers, collaborators, —your support means more women graduating, more families lifted, more lives transformed.

Together, we can scale this impact. Together, we can prove that talent exists everywhere even in the slums if only opportunity is provided.

✨ A Day of Impact at Christian Family School, Powered by Purpose, Partnership & Passion ✨

Yesterday 25th July 2025 was a special day for the children and teachers at Christian Family School in Korogocho. We visited these people with our partners and friends from Dyslexia Africa. Their visit, made possible through the collaboration with Shaber Slums Dream Team and our strong team members, marked a significant milestone in our journey to create a more inclusive, supportive and empowering educational environment for vulnerable children in Korogocho.

🎁 Uniforms That Speak Hope

Thanks to the generosity of our members and friends led by Madam Violet Odhiambo and Madam Melonet who added us seven (7) new pairs of school uniforms and other materials which were donated to the children in need—restoring their dignity and confidence, a part from the first 15 learners who had received their uniforms through the support of the organisation and her friends.

🧠 Raising Awareness: A Piloting Session on Dyslexia

It did not just end at giving the uniforms and visits. Yesterday's visit was special on its own and more impactful since the eye-opening dyslexia awareness and training session for our dedicated teachers was also introduced. This great session was led by Madam Violet Odhiambo who is also a dyslexia Advocate from Dyslexia Africa and Mr. Jared Oliech from Dyslexia Africa.
Many of them(teachers) encountered, for the first time, the tools and understanding needed to identify and support learners with dyslexia and other learning difficulties.

(Dyslexia is a learning differences, not a disease that primarily affects the reading abs spelling. It's characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor Spellings and decoding abilities which has been found to be common among many learners from informal settlements. Dyslexia has always been misinterpreted to be laziness by the leaner.

This session was not just a workshop—it was a pilot, a glimpse into the greater dream: introducing and sustaining a comprehensive dyslexia support programme in Korogocho schools through the partnership of Shaber Slums Dream Team and Dyslexia Africa.

“When we understand our children, we are better positioned to empower them.”

🙏🏾 Thank You, Violet & Jared!
We are incredibly grateful for your generosity, knowledge, and commitment to educational equity. Your time, your resources, and your hearts have left a mark that will not be forgotten.

Thank you George Arwa for always burning the midnight oil to ensure that we give the best to these beautiful kids and for reaching out to everyone for their support towards our cause.

🌱 Partner With Us, Let’s Grow This Together!
This is just the beginning—and we need your help to go further.
At Shaber Slums Dream Team, we believe that no child should be left behind, whether due to poverty, disability, or lack of resources. But to make this vision a reality, we need more sponsors, donors, and well-wishers.
Support us today in scaling these initiatives to more schools:

• 🧥 Donate school uniforms
• Adopt a child in school and pay for his or her school fee.
• Pay for a child's feeding programs
• 📚 Fund teacher trainings and learning aids
• 💵 Offer financial support to run future dyslexia programs

Every coin, every effort, and every share counts. Let’s build a future where every child is seen, understood, and supported.
