South B Primary School

Located in the heart of the South B slum in Nairobi, our school serves children growing up in an environment where instability can be part of everyday life. Families often live in extremely crowded conditions with limited resources, and the transient nature of the community means children may experience frequent moves, changing caregivers, or uncertainty about where they will live from one season to the next.

For some children, the challenges extend far beyond poverty. Alcohol and drug abuse, sexual violence, neglect, and unsafe living situations can leave children especially vulnerable. Circumstances beyond their control can interrupt their education and make the consistency many children take for granted difficult to find. In the midst of that uncertainty, our school and church seek to be a place where children know they are safe, valued, and cared for.

That consistency is one of the most important things we can offer. A child may not be able to control what is happening at home or in the community around them, but each day they come through our doors, they are welcomed by teachers and staff who know their name and are invested in their future. Here, they receive an education, nutritious meals, spiritual encouragement, and the support of adults committed to protecting and advocating for them.

Our hope for South B reaches beyond helping children survive difficult circumstances. We want them to recognize their God-given worth and discover possibilities for their lives that poverty and instability can make difficult to imagine. Through education, discipleship, and long-term relationships, we are working to create a place of stability in the heart of an unpredictable environment—giving children a safe place to learn, grow, dream, and build toward a different future.
