Where We Go: Make a Better World (Kenya) in Mukuru Slum

So this is part of the Life section of our blog.

Dan is starting and Victoria will fill in more info. about Mukuru Slum where she works.

Below are maps, video and background information about the slum area.

MaBWoK is a tiny organization which is truly grassroots.

It was started by a few friends who lived in the Mukuru area in 1999 starting with youth education.

Now they do

Early Childhood Development

Internet & Computer Training

Adult Literacy

Cyber Cafe

Entrepreneurship Training

Business (Plan) Development

Sales of Water

Feeding Program

Saving and Loans Groups

HIV/AIDS Awareness

Child Protection Programs

Maternal Health Programs

Vocational Skills Training (ie. Brick making, metal fabrication, etc).

Small Scale Manufacturing Skills (ie. Dress Making, Soap Making, Etc).

Perhaps they are trying to do too much with too little... but they have been a part of the community for over a decade and have helped make Mukuru a better place a little at a time.
