Feeding Programme

The tin houses of the Kware slum in Nairobi are packed together so closely you can touch both sides of the street at the same time. There are plastic bags strewn everywhere, and a stream of grey sewage runs at the side of the road.

Unemployment is rife, and the children are thin and wear tattered clothes. Many children go to school hungry.

Footsteps works with Pastor Bernard Ndetei and his wife Ruth to help feed the 300 children who come to their Church on the Rock School. The meal of maize and beans fills the children's hungry stomachs and helps boost their nutrition level to ward off the many diseases that are common in the slum.

  5 pence pays for lunch for one child in the Kware slum. £50 is enough to feed 300 children one day a week for a month. You would give your own child a meal when it was hungry – could you do the same for a child in Kware?
