Little lions community based organization
We don’t just want to give you volunteering and teaching experience, we want you to build connections and lasting memories.
We will give you a true perspective on what is like for the many people who reside here. Here in the slums we only have limited government so most children go to community schools like mine. Even though life for many of the children is a struggle, you will see how much they embrace learning and always bring positivity.
My name is Eunice Otulo, the owner and director of School. I started the school several years ago as safe centre for kids to provide quality education and care, and to address many of the issues they face in the slums. We provide the 150 students with breakfast and lunch, and we try to give them extra care, especially our 30 orphaned children.
We currently work with 5 local volunteer teachers, who we one day hope to pay.
My daughter (24) and son (12) live with me as well, and like to interact with our guests
Volunteers can expect warmth and friendships. And lots of hugs from the kids.

Sadly due to my personal schedule, I didn't stayed long as expected. But the host and kids are extremely friendly and flexible with my schedule. I'm so grateful to have stayed a bit with kids and Eunice. They provided you the best from the town and I gained a lot great memories with all of them.

To begin with, I would like to thank Eunice and the entire school community, where they work daily to help provide an education to children who really need it. Working as a volunteer at the school, I have felt like one more member of the community they have organized; we have made plans, they have shown me the truth about the quality of life there, and they have been open to proposals on my part. I would recommend this experience to anyone who wants to grow personally, to get to know a different reality, and to help those in need.

My 2 weeks stay in Little the school Junior School has been an amazing and eye-opening journey for me. I really get to interact with the locals here especially the children who live in the nearby Kibera Slums. Not only that, I even get to cook and taste local food here. Eunice really takes very good care of me in terms of my security and the coziness of the living environment which I feel is suitable for flexible and rugged travelers. Rest assured I didn didn't get any mosquito bites and food poisoning throughout my stay here!

What I took from this experience is that they are looking mostly to a partnership and donation than actually volunteering. If you’re looking for a place where you can impact financially while interacting with kids, this is for you.
Everyone treated me with respect and nicely, I felt welcomed and the kids were amazing. Will definitely miss them.
I did run into some problems, though. The fee was changed from $12 to $100 and neither them or worldpackers let me know. I found out when I arrived.
Breakfast can be very basic as just plain bread and I recommend you go out on the weekends.

It was truly an unforgettable experience. The lives I saw and stories I heard left a deep impact on me. the the school needs almost everything—stationery, clothes, proper classrooms, desks, boards—but above all, a decent building. As a volunteer, don't expect comfort; conditions are very different, yet that's what makes it meaningful. Take precautions for hygiene, but know that people will do their best to make you feel at home. Madam Eunice has a wonderful heart and needs great support. I will miss everyone, especially the children.
