About Tenderfeet
The Tenderfeet Education Center is a school for orphans and other vulnerable children of pre-school through second grade age in Nairobi, Kenya. Tenderfeet children are victims of extreme poverty, living in households making $1 or $2 per day.
The school has two locations. The original location is in Kibera, Africa's largest slum. Earlier in 2008, part of the staff and students relocated to nearby Riruta, about 5 miles from Kibera. This was necessary for safety reasons due to the ethnic violence following the riots of the December 2007 elections.
The school was founded in 2000 by Margaret Nyabuto and currently has 30 students in Riruta. In addition, 32 students from the former site in Kibera are being sponsored so that they can continue to attending school.
Tenderfeet in Kenya partners with the Tenderfeet Foundation, a U.S. non-profit charity. U.S. donations are tax-deductible under article 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.
