Key Information

Since 2005, Overseers has provided primary education to the children of Kangemi, one of East Africa’s most notorious slums. Overseer’s hard-working teachers and staff overcome adversity with an unparalleled commitment to their 215 students. African Childrens Haven provides students and staff with breakfast and lunch. For many, it’s the best meal of the day. The project is part of a collaborative effort with our colleagues at Watu Kwa Watu and the Hindu Women’s Association of Nairobi.
