A tour costs 50 euros or 45 pounds (excl. VAT) per meeting of 45-60 minutes. You’ll only have to pay the invoice after the tour has been carried out. Are you booking a tour for the first time? It is possible to contact Collins first to get to know each other. Or reserve a tour directly here.
Booking and conducting a tour consists of four steps:
Reserve an Online Slum Tour. After reservation you’ll receive an email with the contact details to schedule your tour. Schedule a suitable date and time. You’ll choose the platform (Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams) and invite the guide to the meeting. Optionally, first make a brief online appointment with Collins to get to know each other.
Before the tour, you prepare the pupils or students with an introductory lesson on the subject.
The tour begins. The guides walk through Kibera while filming and explaining what there is to see. In addition, they answer the questions that are asked. The teacher ensures that all pupils or students are involved. Encourage them to ask the prepared questions from the introductory lesson. One tour lasts 45 to 60 min, depending on what is arranged in advance.
In the lesson after the tour, the teacher evaluates the tour with the students or pupils.
Afterwards, Agape Hope for Kibera can provide a follow up. In the form of photos or a short video it is shown how the money has been invested in the community (example). Please discuss this in advance when planning the tour.
Why participate?

- Students will learn first-hand what it's like to live in a slum like Kibera. They experience that there isn't just misery, but also hope, when it's shown how the community helps each other out. How they work together and what progress has already been made.
- Students are persuaded to step out of their comfort zone and ask questions of the guides.
- The tour is in line with the Sustainable Development Goals and Global Citizenship Education. The tour can be a part of subjects such as: Geography, Economics, History and Social Civic Studies.
