Deadly floods
When floods struck various parts of the country, many sought refuge in the nearest school halls even before they were officially designated as rescue centres by the government.
Happy Star Academy in Mashimoni, Mathare saw an influx of over 350 people when the floods first hit, with many arriving with only the clothes on their backs and their children. Despite being a school with a population of 400 pupils, it has been an integral part of the community for the past 7 years.

The children of Mathare need your help
We need qualified teachers and appropriate school materials. We also need food for the children. What they eat at school is often all they have for the day.
