Love SHACK Kenya: About Love SHACK

Vulnerable Children

The primary focus of Love Shack is to send destitute & orphaned Kenyan children to school and hospital. We currently do this through child sponsorship and small-scale fundraising. We have provided funds for life saving surgery and enabled a number of children to live their dream of attending higher education through to university level. Click here to read more.

Healthcare & Outreach

The Love Shack Outreach Office is located in Kawangware Slum, Nairobi, for the convenience of the families we serve. Although the main focus of our work is to assist children to go to school we can only do this if they are healthy. Given the unsanitary living conditions in the slums children are frequently sick. Poor water quality often results in typhoid, roundworm and intestinal amoeba. Malaria is also prevalent and many children suffer the affects of malnutrition. Click here to read more.

Family & Fun

Over the years that Love Shack has been in existence we have assisted a number of children that are homeless and/or abandoned. In turn, we rent a small house in the countryside for children that have nowhere to go. There are currently 10 permanent residents in the house. During the school holidays that number can double as children return from boarding school.Click here to read more.

Education & Graduations

Love Shack has been providing opportunities for children to go to school since 2004. We are now seeing the fruits of our student’s labours. Our secondary school leavers have gone on to study engineering, computers, accounting, hairdressing, teaching and medicine. Of those coming through this year we have a prospective pilot, architect and nurse but to mention a few. Click here to read more.
