Raised in the heart of Kibera, one of Kenya’s largest urban slums, Bria* faced overwhelming challenges.

Despite the odds, she completed her primary education but an unplanned pregnancy as a teen forced her to put her dreams on hold.

Through Mirror of Hope’s Future Poa (Cool Future) project, Bria found strength in a supportive environment. She gained practical skills in tailoring, received counselling support and learned about self-care, entrepreneurship and life-skills to rebuild her confidence and independence.

Mirror of Hope has given me the tools to overcome challenges and pursue my dreams. I am grateful to rewrite my story and inspire others.

Bria is now working towards opening her own fashion parlour to support her family and inspire others in the community. This will encourage other young mothers to embrace change and believe in their potential

1 in 3 children in Western Kenya cannot read a single word.

As we head towards the end of the financial year, your gift can help children learn, read and thrive. 

In rural western Kenya, classrooms are overcrowded, teachers are untrained and under-supported, and children are leaving school unable to read, leaving them disadvantaged for life. 

But, with your help, this can change. 

 

With improved teacher training, better literacy support and safer classrooms, children can gain the foundational skills they need to succeed at school and beyond. 

Your support this tax time will help train teachers, strengthen schools and help thousands of children learn to read with confidence.
