Bringing Light to the Lives of Children in Kenya

Nestled on a steep hill, the slums of Tudor suffer from severe living conditions. The lower the shanty homes go, the worse the situation becomes. During downpours, lack of irrigation and poor infrastructure turn the area into a muddy and hazardous environment. The smell from poor waste management lingers in the muggy heat, and the shortage of clean water and poor sanitation leads to major health crises. Malnutrition is rampant, and access to doctors or medication is a rare luxury. Electricity is scarce, contributing to high crime rates, and the visual sight of poverty is overwhelming.
Children in these slums rarely go to school due to unaffordable fees. Instead, they start working at young ages to support their families. Life expectancy here is only 30 years, with many children growing up without one or both parents. These kids have little hope for a better future.
