Help Gatoto School feed & educate Nairobi students

Organization information

American Friends of Gatoto, Inc.

Location: University Park, United States of America

Summary

For over 25 years, Gatoto School has fed and educated 1,000 students in Mukuru kwa Reuben. The ingenuity and leadership of our late founder, Betty, led her to start the school at the request of community leaders. Despite government promises, there is no free education within this slum - a crowded settlement where families often also lack food, electricity, water, and sanitation. COVID further disrupted school, livelihoods, and was a risk multiplier. As schools and meals stop, children go hungry.
