**TRUSTEES REPORT SEPTEMBER 2022 • AUGUST 2023** 

## **The Lunohbowl Network** 

## **TRUSTEES REPORT SEPTEMBER 2022 - AUGUST 2023** 

This year, the charity raised £185,181. Last year, £240,851 was raised. Therefore, there has been a decrease of £55,670 from the previous year. 

The charity is very grateful for the generosity and kindness of many individual donors, churches, schools and Trusts. This dedicated giving continues to provide daily vital help, bringing life and hope to those who are most in need. 

The aim of The Lunch bowl Network is always to seek and identify those in severe need, who live within Kibera and Kwarangare, two of the informal settlements of Nairobi. Kibera is the largest of informal settlements in sub Saharan Africa with an estimated population of 1-1.Sm people living in a densely populated and harsh environment. 

The charity responds to these profound disadvantages by providing a series of actions; daily wholesome nutrition combined with a stimulating education to a high standard in a safe learning environment. Within the schools, we aim to meet the children's emotional, social and spiritual needs and for the Kenyan syllabus to be delivered in an interesting and creative manner. 

Our aim is to counteract their disadvantaged start in life and give them an opportunity to compete for secondary school places by developing literate and numerate children who will eventually be able to compete nationally for university places or vocational training. We believe schools to be a foundational platform for providing a pathway out of extreme poverty. 

Our children are aged between 2 - 14 years. All have experienced either the death of one or both parents or serious illness of a parents, or they are children with Special Educational Needs. Prior to being admitted into one of our schools, most children would be surviving on one small bowl of porridge or less per day. 

Sadly over the year, three of the Lunchbowl children died; two from ill health and one from touching a live electrical cable.

We provide a creatlve* quality education daily to 489 highly vulnerable children.
Within the schools. we aim to meet the children's educational. emoiional, social and
spiritual needs. The Educational objectives a￿ to deliver the Kenyan 5yilabu5 in an
Interesting and Creati￿ manner.
The provision includes two Early yea￿ Kindergartens. one situated adjacent IICKJml to
Kibera. The other Kindergarten. Primary school, Special Educatlonal Needs facility
Iwhich includes a unit for the deaf) is a purpose built school a short bus ride from
Kibera. The chIld￿n are transported daily to Karen from Kibera.
All the schools follow the new CBC Kenyan curriculurn and the teachers are selected
from some of the most reputable schools in Nalrobl. Educational equipment IS
sourced and donated from the UK.
The Mlnlstry of Education reoryanlsed prlmary and secondary sthools and we opened
for one year as a Junior Secondary School. Sadly. we were unable to continue with the
Junior Secondary School due to lack of funding. This meant that we could only take
children from aged 2- 11 year5. However. the school now operates with two classes
per year group. which inC￿aSe$ the charity's input to the youngest children.
A homework hub. In partnership with The King's Rugby Development Academy, was
set up for Grades 6- 8 which operated every evenin8 after school up to 6.CQ pm and
every Saturday morning. This has helped to improve the grddes of chlldren who
would otherwise be unable to do homework * home In dark and difficult condltlons.
All Prlmary children have to stt Ministry of Educatlon tests every half term to track
their progress. There has been a noticeable improvement in scores across all ages.
Many younger children in Grade l and 2 scoring straight A grade5.
The charity employs 44 Kenyans- a 19 teaching team, 13 Learning Support Assistsnts
and 12 support staff. These include specialist teachers for Sports. Art, En81ish, Maths.
Sclence. Kiswahili, Social Studies, Spetial Educational Needs and Hearin8 ITnpairmenL
Most of the support stsff are mothers sefected from the Kibera communtty and the
majority receive a school place for their child. The work gives theffl dignity, security
and greater control of their lives. The work gives these mothers the opportunity to
work alongside other mothers facing similar challenges, particularly those who have
children with SEN, helping to counteract their social isolation and their children'5
solation.
At Christmas the chlldren enjoyed a Christrnas party including acrobat5 and fire llame eatersl Every
kindergarten child received a toy, mary of which were donated by friends of the charity from the UK.

Over 40 children from the 5t Nicholas Children Home. which is on the same site as the Good Samaritan
Primary School, attended the School. All of the children from the home We￿ referred from SLxial Services
due to their vulnerability-

Integratsd provl4on for chlldren challenged with Spedal Educational Needs ISEN)
In the last year, the children in the SEN class hove Increased from 19 to 23 children.
A crStical need was identified relating to Children with Special Educational Needs ISENI. including those with
profound hearing loss. Children with SEN and their caregivers con5kntute one of the m05t disadvantaged
groups wlthln the slum5. Many of the children with mobility and leamlng challenges were found locked
alone or hidden away in thelr huts. all wtthout arry stimulation or the means to communicate.
The quallty of education and integrated learning for the children with hearing impalmient and Speclal
Educational Needs is unlqLse within Kenya in tems of quality provlded and inclusion. All of the children from
Xlbera with SEN have been isolated with no educational or social provision. Some of the mothers were
struggling to carry their children to sthool and so a small van was hired to bring the children.
Every week, the children from the SEN dass enjoy swimming at a kKal pool accompanied by their mother5,
teaching team and a physiotherapist. In addition, a small group of children attend Riding for the Disabled
every week to enhance their core strength and mobility.
Every day, the children have acc￿ to l-.1 phy5iOtherapy. Three children who were unable to walk are now
able to walk f￿elY with the consistent and daily physiOtherdPV.
Integrated pro¥lslon for Hearfrva ImpalTed Chlklrnn
Thi5 year, the unit for hearing impaired increased to 15 children.
All the children have been issued with wst aural hearing alds and been tested to asse5S the degree and
type of hearing loss. The cost of the hearing aids was covered by individual donors. None of the children
had received a formal assessment prior to joining the unit. Every month. the children attend an audiology
clinic to maintain the funthon of their hearin8 aids.
The children from the unit V15ited Pallet Cafe for I￿ t￿aM and chips. The cafe is staffed by deaf signing
adults. The children also were invited to see a performance of "OINer" at The Kenyan National Theatre.
Two girls were selerted by Dance Centre Kenya to join free ballet classes one day a week after school.
The unit operates an integrated system with hearing peers for dance, PE and art. Every week. the children

Since 2Crt)6. 8 Saturday Dinner prcodramme has operated with
our l¢xal team feeding up to 450 under 10 year olds. This fills
an essential need to tsckle hunger and malnutrition in the very
young. According to the Keryd National Bureau of Ststistits.
Kenya Demographic and Health Survey 2022. "Many children
under 5 years old are stunted or too short for their age. This is
a sign of chronic undernutrtiion. Marry children under age 5 are
wasted Itoo thin for their height). which is a sign of acute
undernutrition. Many children are also underweight. or too
thin fortheir age."

Due to heavy rains, the kitchen in Kibera collapsed. The Older cooking stoves were creating too much smoke
and therefore a health hazard to the ladies who cook every Saturday. The kitchen wa5 rebuilt and new
stoves instslled.
