SHABER APRIL HOLIDAY FEEDING & MENTORSHIP PROGRAM IN KOROGOCHOSLUM(April 18th, 2026)

On Saturday, 18th April 2026, something powerful happened in Korogocho.

Through your support, we successfully carried out our April Holiday Feeding & Mentorship Program, reaching 158 vulnerable children with not just food, but love, guidance, and hope.

Young minds were nurtured through mentorship, guidance, and encouragement.

Lives were touched beyond the plate with programs that continue to shape a better future.

This was not just a feeding program… it was a moment of dignity, restoration, and possibility.

✅️Food,
✅Slightly used ️clothes and shoes

nothing is too small to change a child’s day.

Have a glance at our beautiful kids from Korogocho Slums at Christian Family School Korogocho.

We gave more than 30 of them uniforms, learning materials, and other clothing.

We have sponsored 5 under our "Adopt-A-Child" Initiative paying their school fees.

A bout 10 of them are sponsored by our team members and are undertaking Computer training with the suppor and collaboration with Digitoto.

Holidays feeding programs are also not left behind, and this April holiday, we are preparing something greater for them.

So far, some of our friends have started reaching out on the areas they can support us in, while some have sent clothes and shoes just waiting for that great day.

Reach out and share your love with these beautiful people during this Easter Holiday.

For over a decade, Shaber Slums Dream Team in Korogocho, Kenya has been advancing gender and education equity through a community-built model that rescues vulnerable children, restores dignity through nutrition and school support, and prepares them for the digital future through inclusive learning and ICT integration.

Korogocho is neighboring the Dandora dumpsite. Poverty here is layered: hunger, school dropouts, teenage pregnancy, drug exposure, learning disabilities misunderstood as “failure,” and now digital exclusion.

Today, Shaber Slums Dream Team is carrying the baton and sharing what we have learnt in the Alliance For Women and Girls (AFWAG) Network Equity Relay, a Pan-African campaign proving that the solutions to gender justice already exist within communities closest to inequality.

We realized early:
You cannot talk about equity in 2026 without talking about digital access.

We then developed The “Rescue–Restore–Rise–Digitize” Community Equity Framework

A locally built, integrated approach designed from lived realities.

1 Rescue

We identify vulnerable children including those exposed to Dandora dumpsite risks and bring them into safe community programs through holiday feeding initiatives and mentorship.

2 Restore

Through:

✅️Adopt-A-Child school fees support

✅️Holiday and emergency feeding programs

✅️Dyslexia & dyscalculia teacher training (recognized globally)

We restore educational dignity.
Children once labeled “slow” are now understood and supported.

3 Rise

We empower mothers and vulnerable women through:

✅️Entrepreneurship mentorship

✅️Seed capital support

✅️Economic resilience training

Because when a woman rises, a girl stays in school.

4 Digitize

Through partnership with DigiToto, we integrate ICT and computer training for children in informal settlements who would otherwise never touch a computer.

We are closing the digital gap not in theory, but in practice.

In Korogocho, digital literacy is gender justice.
A girl who codes is harder to silence.
A boy who learns ICT is less vulnerable to crime networks.

Why This Matters

Gender injustice in informal settlements is intersectional:

Hunger

Economic dependency

Learning exclusion

Digital marginalization

Our insight:

Equity must be integrated.
You cannot feed a child and leave them digitally illiterate.
You cannot teach ICT to a hungry child.
You cannot empower a child while the mother remains economically trapped.

This model serves:

❇️Vulnerable girls at risk of early marriage and dropout

❇️Boys exposed to crime and substance abuse

❇️Mothers rebuilding household stability

❇️Teachers building inclusive classrooms

And this framework was not imported.
It was built in Korogocho, by the community, for the community.

The Global Message

Grassroots organizations in informal settlements are not beneficiaries of innovation, they are creators of innovation.

From rescuing children near the Dandora dumpsite, to integrating inclusive education, to bridging the digital divide through ICT training, Shaber Slums Dream Team demonstrates that gender equity solutions are already alive in African communities.

From Korogocho to the world,
We are sharing a working model.

We have officially completed 6 digital training sessions this half term and what a journey it has been!

At Christian Family School Korogocho, our children have been learning coding, robotics, programming, IoT, and AI through our partnership with Digitoto.

The transformation has been powerful.
Children who were once shy are now confidently interacting with technology. Attendance has improved. Excitement on training days is unmatched. Many learners are now talking about careers in technology, something that once felt far from reach.

Even more encouraging? The number of interested students has increased. Word has spread. More children want to join.
This is the kind of problem we love, growth driven by hope and curiosity.

But as the numbers increase, so do the training costs. Shaber Slums Dream Team has sponsored a number of learners (potion of those in the programme) for the sessions to ensure access for vulnerable children, and we are now calling upon friends, partners, and well-wishers to help us sustain and expand this life-changing opportunity to all the 30 learners undertaking this training.

We want to thank our team members led by our team lead George Arwa for always ensuring that the process is smooth and successfully and for their continuous contributions towards this.

Congratulations Team. Sylvia Ochieng, Washington Ayodi, S'lick Moraa, Beatrice Auma, Achibellah Mo and the rest of the team.

If you can donate computers or help us build a small digital lab for our children, you will be directly investing in their future.
Owning our own computers will help us stop recurring transport (gadgets) and trainers costs and allow more children to benefit consistently.

Korogocho children are ready to learn.
Let’s give them the tools.

If you would like to support a child’s digital future, partner with us, or learn more, please reach out.
Korogocho children are ready. The future is waiting.

LEARNERS SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM AT CHRISTIAN FAMILY SCHOOL KOROGOCHO.

We are grateful to share that Shaber Slums Dream Team (SSDT) has successfully sponsored 4 vulnerable learners at Christian Family School Korogocho.

Through the commitment and generosity of our members, these children will now continue their education without the fear of being sent home for school fees.
In Korogocho, education is not just about learning, it is about breaking cycles of poverty, restoring dignity, and giving children a fair chance at life.

This sponsorship to these families means:
✔ Stability
✔ Hope
✔ A future
We believe that when a community comes together, transformation becomes possible.
We are not stopping at 4.

There are still more than 45 learners who were rescued last year from the dumpsites by our members and the school staff, and as we update this exciting news, they are back to the street because of school fees.

📌 If you would like to sponsor a child and walk with them this year, kindly inbox us or WhatsApp +254716216681 or 0716045607

Let’s continue to Love and Serve People to Life.
