Overview
We are a team of 4 local guides. We are experienced and professional. We were all born, raised and still live here in Kibera (the largest slum in Africa). We have first-hand insights into the authentic daily life here in Kibera, our community. We run a social impact tour business called OAC Kenya Tours. It is a vehicle for positive change. A significant portion of our revenues go back to the community. 50% of the booking fees from this tour helps in paying school fees for needy kids here in our community. Join us in making a positive difference by booking this tour
We also run a non-profit called KCOOP Organization. It was officially established and registered in 2022. KCOOP operates here in Kibera slum and in rural parts of Kenya. All our regular updates are available on our website and social media pages. Our Instagram is; @kcoop.organization.
We are now seeking for like minded individuals, organizations or enterprises for partnership to enable us help many more needy kids.
