The Bethel Outreach School, located in the largest urban slum in Africa—"Nairobi's Kibera Slum"—provides primary education to desperately poor children, many of whom were orphaned due to AIDS or violence. The school structure was deemed uninhabitable in 2021.
The cost of building a safe and dignified school is $125,275, far beyond our ability at Seven Hills Global Outreach. Working with our key partners, FOCUS Dream Center, Angels of God Ministry, and SABA International—along with donors who surfaced when needed most—we have raised all but the last $10,000. The construction is well underway, and I will be in Kibera/Nairobi from January 9–14 to inspect the progress and meet with the many families who live in the Kibera slum and whose children will benefit from what will be named "Kibera–Bethel Primary School."
Eighteen months ago, I had no idea we could achieve our fundraising goal and begin constructing this critical school. Although crucial funding has been raised today, we still need YOUR HELP to present the final $10,000 needed.
Your financial support to fund and build a new lower primary school for the children of Kibera (grades 1-3) will effectively transform lives, as the school is being restructured to focus solely on early childhood education with an emphasis on early childhood development. Through a longstanding and continued partnership with SABA International, a feeding program will continue to be offered, ensuring impoverished children receive three nutritious meals each day and are physically ready to learn.
Please give whatever you can, $10, $100, $1000—knowing that 100% of every tax-deductible dollar will support the construction of the school. Please consider giving back to impoverished children this holiday season and establishing HOPE for their future. Your gift will transform the lives of the most vulnerable children living in the heart of the largest urban slum in Africa. YOU can make this happen.
