A Child in the Rough was founded in an effort to support and lift local children out of extreme poverty by providing the means and opportunities through education.
With the delivery of humanitarian aid, meals, emergency medical care, and free education A Child in the Rough has created a safe space from the dangers and abuse of the Kibera Slum for the local children to thrive and experience the joys of childhood while working towards a more promising future.
We set out to share experiences and local stories through videos, photography and storytelling to capture the attention of people all over the world. Through this we hope to inspire others to join us in providing humanitarian aid and support to the children of the Kibera Slum.
The name A Child in the Rough was chosen from the expression “a diamond in the rough” as we have witnessed first hand the potential the youth hold despite the extremely harsh environment in which they live. Intelligent, talented, determined, and good natured, these children have the potential to be leaders and create great change in an environment that so desperately needs it... if only they had the means to do so.
They are truly diamonds in the rough.
