The Mwelu Foundation

The Mwelu Foundation work with a team of 40 boys and girls from Mathare. As a multicultural group, with all the slum’s major religions and tribal groups represented, we are bridging gaps in our community and encouraging people to live peacefully as brothers and sisters.

Every child in Mathare has a unique story to tell. Please click on one of the images below, or the names on the right, for some personal views of life in one of the poorest communities in the world from the members of the Mwelu Foundation.
