The Way We Work

​Lunchbowl operates a food programme feeding approx 400 children in Kibera, Nairobi.
We also educate the minds and feed the tummies of up to 200 children aged 3-8 in our beautiful kindergarten.

On a daily basis our network of dedicated carers in Kibera work together to care for the orphaned and vulnerable children. The carers are given food packs comprising of beans, vegetables and rice to sustain the orphaned and vulnerable children who live with them and their extended families.

The highlight of the week is the Saturday Lunch Programme, this is when the children receive a substantial, hot nutritious meal comprising of  meat, vegetables, rice or chapatti with fruit and milk. 
Here they have a sanctuary where they can play and rest.

Life in Kibera

In the UK, significant funding for the Dinner Programme comes through school children engaging their hearts and minds in the issues facing the orphans and then responding by giving.
The Lunchbowl Network has a team of School Ambassadors who present assemblies and give personal feedback to supporting schools. If you would like further information for your school please follow our schools resources link.

All our schools workers and admin team are completely voluntary and consequently when you give to Lunchbowl 94% of your donation goes directly to helping improve the lives of the orphaned and vulnerable children of Kibera.
