Our main project, The Walk Academy look after children providing education and offer a feeding programme to children living on a rubbish dump and in extreme poverty. Many children don’t go to school in Kenya because their parents want them to earn money (mainly on the rubbish dump, collecting rubbish). The project offers 2 meals a day for each child as an incentive for their parents to allow them to go to school and get an education. The project also work with the local community, often helping with rent, distributing clothing and general support to families living in extreme poverty on a rubbish dump.
