The Lunchbowl Network was set up in 2006 in response to the plight of the orphaned and vulnerable children living in Kibera, Nairobi. Since then we have provided funding for a dinner programme for 450 orphaned and vulnerable children. These children endure the harsh reality of life in Kibera including lack of access to clean water, very poor sanitation compounded by an inadequate education that causes them to be severely disadvantaged. The children in the programme have been selected because of their vulnerability and high need and rely upon the nutrition that is provided daily by The Lunchbowl Network.

Since January 2015 we have provided education for 120 Kiberan children aged 3-8 years old at our Angel Kindergarten.
In January 2019 our educational provision was extended to provide primary education for 330 Kiberan children ages 4-13 years old at our Good Samaritan Primary School in partnership with the Anglican Church of Kenya. Our vision is to provide an excellent learning experience, to feed minds as well as tummies and for each child to develop emotionally, physically, spiritually and academically ensuring their disadvantaged background is compensated by a solid foundation in their early and formative years, enabling them to compete within the Kenyan system for good Secondary schools and thereby impact their future lives. Both the Kindergarten and Primary School are an oasis of safety, fun and compassion for every one of our Lunchbowl children. The Lunchbowl Network also provides a sponsorship programme for our children.You can bring lasting hope and change by giving a young child a quality education in their early formative years, for our Primary & Kindergarten children this education will be the key to success in their life
