Kids Playing outside in one of Community School in kibera Slum


Above are kids from one of the project we support in Kibera through feeding program where we provide them with a meal a day to keep them in school. A lot of these kids cannot afford a meal a day. Since their families are unable to provide and when they are left out there, they go to the street to look for something to eat and this lead them to street life. We provide meals to children in slum areas as a way of protecting their lives and keeping them in school.

Internally Displaced persons(kenyan refugees)


It has been a long way since Volunteer International Community Development Africa(vicda) joined hand in hand with other charity organisations in Kenya to attend to the emergency needs of the families who were displaced due to post election violence which occurred December,2007. 350,000 Kenyans were left homeless and thousands of them are still homeless until to-date living in the tents.

They have been hardly hit with alot of challenges such as lack of shelter,food,bad hygiene,medical problems,kids dropping out of school due to lack of school fees,uniforms,stationeries. The tents they have been living in are worn out.
