About this project

Immo Johannes D. Fabarius from Southern Network for Environment and Development is responsible for this project
Our Goal: Fostering Growth Through Education, Health, and Art
Join us in supporting a transformative initiative aimed at uplifting the young residents of Dandora, Nairobi. In the heart of one of the world's largest unregulated landfills, these children face extreme challenges – poverty, violence, and health hazards. Partnering with Ndoto Zetu, a local nonprofit, we're committed to providing them with opportunities for a better tomorrow.

Over the next 12 months, we plan to implement a series of initiatives, including educational support, political awareness, environmental education, and health promotion. Through workshops and training sessions, we'll expand their knowledge and empower them with essential skills in the following 4 focus areas:

1) Nutrition Security and Sustainable Agriculture
To address immediate needs, we're leasing urban land for sustainable agriculture. This not only ensures food security but also serves as an educational platform for local children and youth.

2) Health Promotion and Access
Our project prioritizes health education workshops and facilitates access to essential medical services, combating prevalent diseases and improving overall health outcomes.

3) Education Empowerment
Recognizing the barrier posed by unaffordable school fees, we initiate educational support programs. Financial aid is extended to those who can't afford state school fees, ensuring broader access to education.

4) Holistic Development Through Creativity
Beyond immediate needs, the project promotes holistic development through creative expression. Musical and cultural initiatives empower local youth to develop and express themselves, contributing to their overall growth.

Join Us in Making a Difference
Your support is vital in making this initiative a success. Together, we can break the cycle of poverty, providing these young individuals with the tools they need to build a brighter future. Join us in empowering the youth of Dandora – your contribution makes a lasting impact!
