Ruiru is a fairly typical, medium size town, about an hour north of Nairobi, Kenya. Many families live in a small shack with no electricity and no sanitation, sleeping in a room the size of a small UK sitting room. Kipawa has been supporting a local primary school, Mukuyu, in Ruiru since 2010. In 2016, we began working with Oaklands School, also in Ruiru, initially providing porridge to all the children. In 2020, our focus will be shifting from Oaklands to another school in the area - watch this space...!
