Food, Shelter, Education.

These are three things we think no child should be without. Yet for many within the Kibera slum of Nairobi, Kenya, they are not guaranteed. Chaffinch works with Future Stars Development and Rescue Centre to support some of the most vulnerable children of the slum.

…here was a place that was run for the children and not for the gain of anyone else…it was a place of love and safety and acceptance.

…we have built a connection across our planet and shown those children that there is love in the world – that there are people who care.

Kibera Demolition Consequences: Rescued from Exploitation

Kibera Demolition Consequences: Rescued from Exploitation

Following the demolition of her home, Grace found herself exploited by someone tasked with keeping her safe. Thankfully, Future Stars could step in and offer her sanctuary. Grace is the fourth child making her home at the centre as a direct consequence of the government’s road construction project through Kibera.

“On 15th July there was an allegation of misappropriation of funds in Nairobi. At that point, we suspended online donations, took the Facebook page offline and began an investigation.
On July 17th an emergency meeting of trustees was held.
By August 3rd our investigation found no evidence to support these allegations and no funds are missing.
This incident has, however, highlighted weaknesses in the governance of Future Stars. These are now being addressed.”
Thanks!

Thanks!
