A non-profit called Sponsor My Future works with children in the slums of Ruiru in Nairobi, Kenya.
Most people in the densely populated and semi-industrial area live with their families in single rented rooms that lack electricity, water, and drainage systems.

She says that every donation "gives a child the chance to grow and develop, enabling them to reach their full potential at home and at school."
The crowdfunding campaign on Zaar aims to raise at least $1,000 to cover the children's school tuition and exam fees, as well as their basic needs, such as clothes, shoes, books, stationery, hygiene essentials, and nutritious meals.
