Tabor School

Art lessons in the slums!;)

Handicrafts, sports, dancing, music classes after school lessons — this is how we live in the modern world.

But in the slums, even attending school with hot meals every day is great luck. That’s why we didn’t launch the art classes immediately, but now time has come!
They are now held once a week at Tabor school. Children draw with great pleasure and love their teacher so much.🫶🏿

School subjects are important — that goes without saying. But we want to broaden the kids’ minds as well, show them the world of creativity and inspiration.

There are still many plans ahead — our next dream is to organise dancing and singing classes at the school.
Keep in touch!

Happy Birthday, Tabor school!🥳

2 years ago, the children must live foundation team arrived in Kenya to open a school for hundreds of the poorest children in the slums.

And this is what we’ve done in two years:

• Children who used to eat on average once a day now have two regular meals a day, including fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs and even sweets; food that is completely unavailable to slum dwellers.

• For the first time in their lives, the children have traveled outside the slums: they visited a zoo and an amusement park.

• The doctor conducts regular medical examinations at school. Treatment is prescribed and carried out, if necessary.

• Children learn to write, read, count, learn languages, have art and nature study classes.

• We have 10 employees, and they are all slum dwellers for whom it is a great blessing to have a stable job.

• Finally, we managed to set up a playroom where the kids will play with toys and read books.

Million thanks to everyone who is helping us!

Received a package from Russia!☺️

A few days ago our manager Alfred brought the parcel from our friends Новая школа

It was a real surprise for the kids who have just returned to school after the Easter holidays;)

📦We began to unpack together: there were the favourite toys and books of children from Russia that they decided to share with their African peers. Felt-tip pens, coloring books, puzzles, stationery… How glad we were!

Most children from the slums have no toys at all – or only one toy: presented by our Santa Claus at school for Christmas.

As for books, we are happy to enrich the school library. And we hope that soon we will be able to equip the library corner.📚

People often ask us: is it worth sending some stuff to Kibera by mail?

Of course it is!🙏🏾

Although there is one thing – commissions and taxes when sending and receiving parcels. The receipt tax for Kibera is very high. Therefore, if the parcel contains something that can be bought in Kenya, then it is optimal to buy it on the spot by sending money for the purchase.

In any case, contact us – and we will discuss which option of assistance is preferable.

There is definitely nothing more precious than the friendship of children from different continents. Thanks again and again to the New School for their heartfelt help!❤️
