Why Education in Kenya’s Slums Is a Matter of Life or Death | Quaker Peace Initiatives
In this powerful episode of Partners in Ministry, host Dan Smith speaks with Hannington Mucherah, program manager of Quaker Peace Initiatives in Nairobi, Kenya. Hannington shares urgent insights into the devastating impact of poverty and lack of education in Nairobi’s informal settlements—home to 80% of the city’s population.
In this episode, Hanningtone explains how a lack of education often leads to early marriage, drug trafficking, crime, and generational poverty. But there is hope.
What you’ll learn:
— The real cost of education in Kenya—and why most families can’t afford it
— How school dropouts fall into destructive life cycles
— The difference one scholarship can make
— How YOU can pray, support, and break the cycle of poverty through education
We invite you to pray daily for the next four weeks for children in Kenya. Join us in believing that God will raise up support for scholarships that transform lives.
