Porridge and Rice

Porridge and Rice works in the Nairobi slums to end extreme poverty through a quality education. Education enables people to take control of their own lives and break the cycle of poverty and deprivation.

Around 1.2 billion people live in extreme poverty. This is defined by the World Bank as a family living on an income of less than £1 a day. Extreme poverty is widespread in East Africa.

In addition to suffering chronic hunger, these families frequently lack safe drinking water, sanitation, health care, children’s education and rudimentary shelter.
