Kiberatours

Our mission is to promote Kibera as the city of hope.

We promote Kibera as a city of hope by organizing tours and showing the mostly unseen part of Kenya to tourists staying in Kenya. We show Kibera as it is. We visit different places with our guests to show them the positive sides of Kibera and the ways people try to improve their lives and work towards and hope for a better future.

We will also provide new hope by (co-)funding the projects and organisations that we will visit with our tours. Since we are a community-based non-profit organisation all our ‘profits’ go to Kibera-based projects to improve the lives of the children of Kibera. Futher the tours will provide employment for the people of Kibera.

In 2009 Kibera Tours started organizing tours within Kibera. The first tours were developed in cooperation with Swedish,Danish,Dutch etc adoption families and Sawadee. The enthousiastic reviews of the first tourists inspired us to go ahead and show Kibera to more and more tourists in Kenya.
