Here, among st countless problems, education is one that exists in its absence. Families from Kibera simply cannot afford to send their children to public schools as these include fees such as fees, school uniforms, bags, shoes, desks and chairs that each child would have to own because schools in turn can’t afford enough furniture for the overcrowded student-body. Thus, in the year 2000 “Little Prince Nursery and Primary school” was born in the heart of this slum so that children whose parents could not support them could still receive an education and escape the tasks that they would more often than not be forced to endure such as taking care of younger siblings, fetching water miles away and begging for change. The first class was made up of 7 children and not long after the number grew to 15. The following year a new class sprung up made of 20 children and in 2013 a third class saw 20 more students attending. These classrooms were simple corrugated tin shacks donated by a Kiberian church. Much work was done with the children’s families to help them understand the importance of education and sub sequentially accepted that their children should attend full-time schooling. In many cases parents themselves attended literacy courses in order to help their children with homework, have a minimum competence in the economical aspects of family-care and to carry through self-sustaining activities.
