STRIVING FOR CHANGE IN KIBERA SLUM.






The large Kibera Slum
Traversing Kibera slum is always a hustle that only those with the desire, zeal and a big heart to see change happen find motivation in.
Baseline studies for year three of the Court of Dreams Project on WASH (Water Sanitation and Hygiene) integrated with Tennis comes in with distinct pathways and navigation to locate the sites. Undugu Basic Education Unit, St.Vincent De Paul and Stara Rescue Center are widely located to the West and far East of the slum all of this schools deal with out of school children who need to be back in the system.
The walk through the slum, thin pathways that seem ending into inhabitants household becomes a common phenomenon in getting into the sites on a daily basis. Every walk gives lots of encouragement for the next day’s walk with discoveries of new roots shorter to the site on subsequent walks, with lots of learning from the different challenges faced and different people you get to interact with.

As the project tools are cultured to realize great output, registered sites for year three are of more in need on numeracy and literacy engagement to enhance the change intended at the end of the project. This means Monitoring and Evaluation will be anchored on the desire of achieved literacy and numeracy to teach the safe WASH practices hence tracking desired change. With the aim of targeting out of school children getting back to school.
