Today, Slum Child Foundation Director George Ochieng - Baxtaly had the privilege of officiating a teachers’ training on the prevention of violence against children in schools within Korogocho slums. a project by Slum Child Foundation and PaaMoja Initiative

During the sessions, it became clear that drug and substance abuse remains a major contributing factor —impacting both children and even some teachers. This challenge reinforces the urgent need for a holistic approach that goes beyond discipline to tackle the root causes within our community.

As an organization, we are committed to creating safe, drug-free, and violence-free learning spaces where children can thrive. Together with teachers, parents, and the community, we believe a brighter future for Korogocho’s children is possible. 🌍💙

Yesterday, the Slum Child Foundation had the privilege of being at Kyaume Primary School, Tala – Kangundo, as part of supporting the Kesho Pia Initiative.

Together, we reached out to the needy and vulnerable members of our community, spreading hope and encouragement. Our mission remains clear — to empower, inspire, and protect young lives, keeping them off the hook of drugs and harmful behaviors while giving them the courage to dream of a brighter tomorrow.

Because every child deserves a chance at a better future!

Thanks to our team members who joined in to help our Director George Ochieng - Baxtaly

Glad that tomorrow under the leadership of our Director we will be Tala sub county in Machakos County to empower children from the rural areas on how to keep safe and be focused to change their communities with the right tool and skills.

What a Day to Remember!** 🌿🦒🌍

Early this morning, Slum Child Foundation had the incredible joy of taking our Toto Club kids on an unforgettable ecological trip to the Giraffe Center, Nairobi, Kenya, Mamba Village, Nairobi Kenya Wildlife Service Nature Trail. This Isn’t just a fun outing — it is a powerful learning experience that opened their minds to the beauty of nature, wildlife conservation, and the importance of protecting our environment.

For many of these children from Korogocho, this was their very first time outside the slum to see giraffes up close, walk through nature trails, and experience what they’ve only read or heard about in school. These moments may seem small, but to them, they are life-changing.

A heartfelt thank you to all who made this possible. You are helping us nurture a generation that not only dreams big but also learns to care deeply for the world around them. 💚🌱









Giraffe Center: African Fund for Endangered Wildlife

Today, our Executive Director George Ochieng - Baxtaly had the honour of attending the Stakeholders Engagement and Dissemination Workshop for Jamaa ya Afya ya Mtoto (JAMO) — a groundbreaking study led by African Population and Health Research Center and the University of Maryland

This important research, conducted over nearly four years in Korogocho and Viwandani, focused on improving child health and well-being in our informal settlements.

As an organisation we are proud to represent the voice of children and youth from Korogocho — ensuring that their experiences, challenges, and hopes are heard and reflected in the work we do at Slum Child Foundation

The workshop brought together key stakeholders, including the Ministry of Gender Children and Social Development Nairobi City County Government, and other like-minded partners, all committed to evidence-based solutions for our communities.

A big thank you to and the University of Maryland for this valuable initiative. Let’s continue championing a healthier, safer, and more inclusive future for every child.

Building Resilience, One Child at a Time

Yesterrday, during our weekly engagement with the children of Korogocho, we were deeply moved by the powerful feedback they shared.

Many expressed how the lessons we've journeyed through together have helped them build inner strength, hope, and a new sense of direction. From learning how to handle peer pressure, deal with trauma, and set goals for the future — it's clear that resilience is growing right at the heart of our community.

These moments remind us why we do what we do. Thank you to every supporter, mentor, and volunteer walking this journey with us. 🙏🏾
