Marginalized People supported daily
At Slum Child Foundation, we are committed to uplifting marginalized people, particularly children, youth, and families in the slums of Korogocho, who face daily struggles with poverty, exclusion, and limited access to basic resources. Our work focuses on addressing their most pressing needs and empowering them to build a brighter future.
How We Support Marginalized Communities Daily

- We provide food, clean water, and essential supplies to families in need, ensuring they can meet their basic needs.
- Counseling and mental health support help families deal with the emotional and psychological challenges of living in extreme poverty.
- Empowering Women and Girls:
- Through vocational training and small business support, we empower women to earn a sustainable income and support their families.
- Awareness programs on gender equality and rights create safer environments for girls to thrive.
