Pilogin Rotterdam (http://www.pilogin.nl/) organised on the 22th of December 2011 a fundraising activity for the project ‘Food 4 Thoughts’ of the children in the Maji Mazuri school in Mathare Valley. Duara Foundation was presented by Wendy to inform the participants and the evening was a success on many levels. In total 247 euros was raised. Hereby Duara wants to thank all the people who contributed and especially Katarzyna & her team from Pilogin Rotterdam.

Dear Friends

Friday morning, 11-11-2011, the ghetto Mathare, Nairobi, Kenya, was hit by a ravaging fire that left 300 families homeless. Many of our Maji Mazuri members have to start life from zero again. Luckily, nobody got hurt physically but the social and economic loss is beyond measure.
The fire was cost by a bad electricity connection that short-circuited. There was no water since the taps in the ghetto had been dry for over a week. One fire brigade arrived after two hours but soon was out of water too. More than a 1000 people lost everything and now have to sleep outside.
We kindly ask for your help to support these families to rebuild their lives.
