The Kawangware Children's Center (KCC) has a self-help school in the Dagoretti district of Nairobi which educates approximately 200 school students from nursery through Class 8. It is a school for orphans and other vulnerable children in one of the most dangerous slums in Nairobi. Their goal is to provide a safe haven and nurturing educational community so that all are well fed, healthy, safe and attending school. Over the years KCC has successfully competed in county-wide sports competitions. The new sports season begins in January and the rubber-soled sneakers are necessary for participation. www.kawangwarechildrenscenter.
