BACKGROUND
Ndoto: For Africa’s Future is a Christ-centered community development organization that works in the Obunga slum of Kisumu, Kenya. Ndoto is a Swahili word meaning “dream.” We aim to give at-risk youth a chance to dream for themselves, their community, and the kingdom of God through education, discipleship, and development.
As an organization, we believe that forgotten communities can be transformed from the inside out. Our dream is to see entire communities changed, not only individual lives transformed.

by Fred Sadia The government of Kenya shut down schools all over the country in March in a bid to control the rising numbers of Covid-19 cases. Children all over the country found themselves in a moment of anxiety, not aware of what the future held for them. Parents alike found themselves drowning in uncertainty. The long holiday proved to be a thorn in the side of everyone in education. But Ndoto became a safe haven for many children, especially in our new library.

by Fred Sadia Dave in 2014 Not all sleepers get to land in paradise with every dream, but when the light of dawn casts a rosy hue across the morning sky, a dreamer cannot be tethered. Dave is such a dreamer. His story is one of resilience, perseverance, and hope. He lives beyond his broken past, focusing on his aspirations and keeping his dream alive. From a tender age, Dave always believed that a day would come when he would be a leader.

Ndoto is still supporting families in Kenya who have been drastically affected by the worldwide pandemic. Many families have lost jobs and income for different reasons. The government has instituted travel restrictions, which have affected product supply in many markets. Many people have moved to rural areas, which has affected demand for products and services in urban areas. Other businesses have simply crumbled as cascading economic fallout means that fewer households can afford to buy what they need.
