What is the ESF?

Through a series of grassroot initiatives ESF hopes to tackle some of the biggest day to day challenges facing those living in some of the Africa’s most impoverished slums. The stories behind people in Kenya ending up living in slums are as diverse as the individuals telling them and we believe that acknowledging this is the key to helping people help themselves out of their situation.

By providing people with the opportunity to work their way out of poverty through area, situation and individual specific projects the particular difficulties of slum life can be addressed. And those in the best position to judge the needs of those living in the slums are the residents themselves. Therefore all of our Kenyan projects, with advice and input from the UK, are run by locals who previously did not have the means to help themselves and those in their community enjoy better lives.
