A bit about Dorna….

Dorna Educational Centre began five years ago when a lady named Pamela Amimo saw the vulnerability of the children living in the Kibera slums. Most children did not have access to education and many children where orphans as their parents had passed away due to HIV/AIDS. Trapped in the cycle of poverty most children struggled to survive. 

With prayer and Gods help, Pamela opened Dorna Educational Centre, specifically for children living in Kibera slums, and especially for orphans. The school is situated beside Kibera Slum and began with approximately 50 students and now has over 300 students and 10 teachers. The children are fed breakfast and lunch 7 days a week, which are the only meals many of the children usually receive. To find out more click here.
