NATIONAL MUSIC FESTIVAL
We have organized an annual Music Festival, from 2017 until 2019, amongst the four schools we collaborate with in Korogocho: Grapesyard, Maranatha, St. John and Starlight. Through the latter, we discovered Starlight School’s Choir, which we have sponsored from 2018 to participate in the National Music Festival.


SPORTS
We organize an annual football tournament among the four local schools we collaborate with. The winners are awarded trophies and sports kits. Both girls and boys participate in the tournament, to develop the children’s sports talents and social interaction. Every year, we invite national sports personalities to grace the tournament.
KOROGOCHO DREAM TEAM
We have become one of the official sponsors of Korogocho Dream Team, from 2021. The football team was created in 2016 by James Odame; with the aim of transforming the society, through sports and establishing a sports centre for Korogocho’s children and youth. Local students under 14 years, are coached for tournaments and later on professional football. The team has currently between 60 and 90 players, all in primary school.


SUPPORT FOR NAPENDA KUISHI TRUST ACTIVITIES
Through a monthly financial contribution, we cater for the dispensary expenses of the children under rehabilitation and also, donate to their community library services and sports organization.
SLUM GIRLS INITIATIVE
We support Slum Girls Initiative’s programs:
– “Menstrual Hygiene Management” – distributes sanitary towels to girls in the slum.
– “Machine on Wheels” – repairs the uniforms of the students, both boys and girls, to restore their confidence and dignity.


CLEAN-UP WEEK
We organize, in coordination with local administration, a series of Clean-Up Weeks in Korogocho, through which our pre-university scholars learn to conserve their environment and demonstrate social responsibility, to the community they belong to.
ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVITIES
From 2021 we have partnered with Greener Life Organization, to rehabilitate rivers, plant trees in Korogocho and beautify schools compounds. In 2021, we cleaned the environment around the student hostels of the University of Nairobi.
Greener Life Organization was established in 2019, for environmental conservation in Korogocho and to economically empower the youth and women through environmental conservation initiatives; such as solid waste management and rehabilitation of land.


VOLUNTEER
The yearly volunteer program enables the pre-university cohorts to teach in the four local schools we collaborate with. This program helps to boost human resource in the community’s education sector and enable our students to learn the values of service and giving back.
ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
Graduate scholars have formed the Alumni Association, which coordinates their efforts to give back to the Kenyan society and transform the Trust into a revolving fund. The aim is to make the scholarship program sustainable and eventually, fully locally owned and run. The Association will thus, be mobilizing funds to sponsor needy bright students for secondary and tertiary education. Currently, the Association is sponsoring one student in high school.
To give back to the society, the Alumni Association is involved in community outreach activities. These activities will increase the visibility of Tumaini Trust Kenya and foster within the students the need to support vulnerable others and conserve the environment they live in.
