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 2015, we began working with Oaklands School, also in Ruiru, initially providing porridge to all the children.
