Saving the world’s poorest children
Kili Kid’s Center serves the youngest residents of Nairobi’s Kibera slums, providing them with food and care.
Kili Kid's Center
Kili Kid’s Center is our fourth project in Nairobi’s Kibera slums. It’s a safe haven for children facing difficult life situations. Here they receive hot, nutritious meals, a place to rest, and access to toys and board games. Kili Kid’s Center is a little oasis of childhood in the heart of the slums.
На завтрак — каша из красного маиса. На обед — рис, бобы, овощи. Яйца и рыба. Даже говядину дети у нас попробовали. По меркам трущоб — эталонное меню.
For Whom
For the poorest children on Earth facing extremely difficult circumstances.
For full orphans and those without family support.
For children whose parents or relatives are unable to care for them.
For any child who is suffering.

How We Help
Kili Kid’s Center is a place of luxury by slum standards. We have a dormitory with beds topped by soft mattresses.
If a child wants to rest, we’ll make their bed with fresh, clean, crisp linens. After sleeping they can wash up and dry off with a real towel—a luxury here.
There’s a courtyard for fresh air and play, plus toys and board games.
Most importantly, we have a kitchen and dining room where we prepare two hot meals a day. This is why children come to us first—for food. We feed them.

At breakfast — red maize porridge.
At lunch — rice, beans, vegetables, eggs, and fish.
The children have even tasted beef.
By slum standards, this is an exemplary menu.

What We Plan
We want to create a fully equipped recreation room so that children can learn and grow through play. We also aim to finish outfitting our dining hall—at the moment, there aren’t any tables.We’ll keep a first aid kit on hand to provide immediate care. Part of childhood is having someone gently blow on a scrape while dabbing it with green antiseptic—and too often, slum children are deprived of even that simple comfort.
We will do everything in our power, because ordinary children in the slums have nothing but their childhood. We want to make that childhood a happier one.
