About This Cause
Destiny shapers reaches to vulnerable livelihoods in Korogocho slums Nairobi with children as the entry point. These are families affected by drugs,crime,hopelessness among others. Some of our parents are "thugs",drug addicts,local commercial sex workers, irresponsible parents and street parents. We also have total orphans and child headed families. We use the following as the tools of change: Feeding Program ;We feed over 300 children daily by providing breakfast, lunch and some take dinner before they go home because we are certain there are no meals at home. We also provide outreach food to families affected by different needs such as severe sickness, parents in prison or child headed families. Basic Education We offer the Kenyan Curriculum (CBC) -Curriculum Based Education to 232 kids(pre-school -Grade 6) who report daily to our education center. The teachers and non teaching staffs are from the locality thus creating better livelihoods. Health and nutrition We take care of the health aspect of our children since they come from irresponsible parents and guardians.We ensure the preschool kids have gone through the 5 year health care and we provide the necessary support. We deworm them and train the parents on importance of health. We support children with chronical and disruptive medical issues to get medical attention too; these includes disabilities, allergies and diseases such as sickle cell. This has been made possible by local partnership with the existing health facility. Library We believe in breaking the cycle of poverty through education. Our community library exist to cultivate a culture of reading as well as provide better environment for reading. The children use the facility during school hours, after school and during holidays. Mentorship We do both girls and boys mentorship as we mold their character at an early age. We supply both with inner wears as well as sanitary towels for girls. Community Empowerment Every month we invite our parents and guardians to trainings and conversations that positively change their lives.40% have changed to better citizens and amazing parents. The community empowerment has helped in better academic results since parents are aware of positive parenting and parental involvement in their kids education. Challenges Our main challenge is funding. We rely on local individuals who are mostly affected by economic fluctuations of our country.Our prayer is to partner with Tech Soup and help us in this.
