Then Jesus called for the children and said to the disciples, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children. Luke 18:15-17

The Kwa Watoto Nursery Class has 25 students, ages 4-5 years. Two academic goals for this class are to improve their ability to write numbers and the correct pronunciation of words. These little ones love reading library books, especially when the stories have illustrations! The students also use Kindles, downloaded with age-appropriate stories, to learn reading. The children unanimously love using the Kindles. XO laptop computers were donated to Kwa Watoto School last year and are now an exciting addition to the curriculum. Students get their first introduction to these computers in Nursery Class.In addition to education, the children receive two nutritious meals each day, enrichment activities, and Christian nurture. Each child received a medical exam on February 3.Miss Musyoka teaches the Nursery Class and has taught at Kwa Watoto School for 5 years. She says, “I have a passion for children and I like teaching numbers. I emphasize the co-curricular activities because it helps the learners to nurture their talents.”Meet Dennis

Dennis is 5 years old and one of four children being raised by a single mother in Jangwani, an extremely overcrowded and poverty-stricken section of Mathare slum. His mother is a member of eduKenya’s Community Support Ministry.Science is Dennis’ favorite subject and he says, “I want to be a doctor so that I can treat people who are less fortunate in the society.” He enjoys the different activities at school and likes the fact that he can choose certain activities he likes best. He loves the balanced meals that he receives and says food is one of the reasons he likes to come to school each morning. When he is not at school, Dennis says he likes dancing.eduKenya is passionate about seeing children like Dennis break free from the cycle of poverty and reach his or her God-given potential. We work to make this a reality by empowering children and their families with the opportunities to transform their lives. Please consider partnering with us to achieve this goal by supporting an entire classroom for a year!Asante Sana! (Thank you)
