Hope and Shine Center – a free education for the children of Kibera
- The Hope and Shine Center was started in 2018, by the founders of Kibera Tours, Freddy and Winnie.
- Due to the high costs of both public and private school fees and access to materials, many children cannot afford to go to school in Kibera. The Hope and Shine Center hopes to fill the gaps by providing education to families at no cost.
- Kibera Tours is a community-based nonprofit organization. By attending a tour, you will be funding education for the children of Kibera. 100% of the funding comes from Kibera Tours and donors like you.
- The staff of Kibera Tours contributes 10% of their income to fund the Hope and Shine Center.
- There are no school fees for the parents.
- The Hope and Shine Center is not funded by the Kenyan government, but it is legally registered with the government.
- The school currently has 39 students from 18 months - 9 years old.
- The school relies on volunteers in addition to paid staff and currently 15 tour guides volunteer their time.
