Sylvia Kenda, Kenya

My name is Sylvia Kenda, a community worker currently based in Spur Afrika Kibera. I am a strategic partnership and development coordinator with the aim of using my skills to bring partners to assist in growing the organization's capacity. My main interest is being able to offer hope by facilitating school fees for children and youth who are unable to support themselves and skills to empower women and youth who may not feel comfortable to go back to school.

Our project is a yearly sponsorship program. The project has been in operation in the organization for the past 14 years and has enabled growth from 2 children being supported to around 160 children or more going through the program. The aim of sponsorship is to provide access to quality education for every child, without discrimination.
