In July, we were forced once again to share the news of a FIRE that raged through a neighborhood adjacent to two of our schools – Community Pillars and MobJap. If you missed our e-blast, the damage was extensive and devastating.

From coast to coast, our supporters are inviting their communities to learn more about our mission, vision, and story, and how to champion for the children of Kibera.

Kibera, like so many other slums, has a dearth of green spaces.  No parks.  Few playgrounds.  And not many gardens. As far as the eye can see, there is little more than slum housing and informal commerce.

In June, our team returned from an inspiring and impactful volunteer trip to Kibera! More than 20 volunteers joined us to keep our mission dynamic and strong.

In July, the ELI team returned from Kibera, Kenya, after completing its inaugural trip, where they built an urban garden to support the Crossing Thresholds feeding program.
