Recensies

We have been taking slumtours with all our second year students (13 to 15 years old) for (at least) three years now and each tour has been a fantastic experience. The students learn so much more from seeing it instead of just reading about it. Collins and Allan are very flexible and adapt their tour to the wishes and questions of the students. Collins kept me well informed of where the tour money went, via app and the socials. It is very nice that we were able to contribute to the schools library and gave some food and mattresses to people in need. We hope we can continue to take the tours for many years to come.

Collins and Allan showed my students how life is in Kibera.

My students were impressed by what they saw and asked a lot.

Collins and Allen are professionals and know how to answer all those questions.

We have done this tour many times with our school and we will do it again next year.

Very interactive walk tailor made for the questions of our geography classes doing research on solutions for slums. The revenue is spent on bettering life of local school children. The guide being their teacher.

Dawn and Allan took us along in Kibera, allowing time for many questions and showing us living conditions, schools, medical services and governmental presence in Kibera. They also took us to the market, explained the M-Pesa payment system, indicated distances by times in Matatu minibuses, told about the system of village elders and more! An absolute must to allow students to experience a slum in Geography classes.

Collins, Allan and others were kind enough to show us Kibera. Our students were very excited and learned a lot from the gentlemen. They answered all of their questions and were very helpful to show everything the students wanted to see. It was a great way to show the students what it is like to live in a slum. We highly recommend it to other schools.

We look forward to doing it next year!

We have been doing the slum tour for a couple of years now. Every year at the end of January with a couple of MBO classes. It has been a great experience every single time. I can really recommend it.

I really liked the tour, it was very fun and I learned a lot of new things. I also thought that it was very fascinating to see how it is and how they live over there.

I really liked the slumtour, because it is really interesting and fun to see.

as a Dutch geography teacher, this was one of the best experiences i ever had in my classroom. Collins and Allan are great hosts and they can tell you everything about Kibera.

We booked this tour for two seperate classes for students that are 11 and 12 years old. They were amazed by what Collins told them.

Again, Thank you Collins and Allan! See you next year!

Collin and Allan did an amazing today of showing our second years students what life is like the slums of Kibera! Thank you for the great tour!

Bless you and your good work in Kibera!

We did two Slum Tour in 2 days and the students said that it was clear, impressive and they want to help them afterwards instead of giving money to big charity projects. Collins and Alan gave the students a better world view by guiding them through Kibera. Keep up the good work! See you next year!

Absolutely great what Colins and Evlyn are doing!

Thank you Collin for the tour in the slums of Kibera. My students of Havo 2 in the Netherlands found it very interesting to see how different people can live around the world. It definitely expands their view of the world. In the beginning they were a bit nervous to ask the questions because english is not their language. You explained a lot to the students about living in Kibera, the chocolate city. Thank you for this experience and keep up the good work for the children in Kibera!

This is the second time I’ve had the honor to invite Collins and Kenteh to my univeristy classes in Japan to show us their community and work. Students in my classes definitely experienced a transformation in their ways of viewing Kibera. They had a stereotypical and prejudiced impression before, but after hearing directly from Collins and Kenteh and seeing Kibera with their own eyes via Zoom, rather than through the filter of the media, they could realize there is more to the story than they had imagined. Many were so moved at the hope and joy in the faces of the children going to their school, One student who had visited Kibera before said that they wish they had visited Collins and Kenteh when they had been there. Collins and Kenteh are one hundred percent dedicated to their community and the children and many of my students said they hope they can work as hard with as much passion as they do. I myself feel the same.

This was just great.

First: Cause you get 2 guides, you get 2 times the visual input. Also you never get an akward silence cause when 1 person is on his way, you listen to the other guide.

Second: You can interact with the guide. So when you can ask questions and get a real connection with the guides and the places.

Third: You get the REAL view with this tour.

conclusion: i am so happy i did this tour!

Dear Collins and Evelyn, in March you organized a slum tour for my students, all future teachers. We thought we knew what it was like to live in a slum. But actually we didn’t know anything. Thanks to you we also saw creativity, courage, commitment and so on. A real eye opener that made us look further. 🙏 Next year I will definitely book another trip to Chocolate City!

I learn that no matter your living conditions, the basic human instincts will always be to help each other out. I was really touched by the explanations about the every day life. It takes also a lot of courage to help people around you, find resources and never give up hope.

I really enjoyed how the tour was run. It gives me the will of going there to see it with my own eyes and to come and help. I recommend it to anyone.

Covid has set a lot of boundaries and divides the world apart but because of Covid, I had the opportunity to participate in this online real-time tour. It was definitely an eye opener and an unforgettable experience. I got to see Kibera through the eyes of Collins and Coach Kenteh. From the tour, I could feel their love for their local community and their dedication/passion to improve the current conditions. They also talked about their projects especially the school project. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone.

Dear Collins and Evlyn, Thank you for the online tours in Kibera. My geography students of the NHLStenden University of Applied Sciences were very impressed by the stories of you and Evlyn and it helped them broadening their image of the slums of Kibera. I hope a lot of fellow teachers book a tour with you! Keep up the good work with supporting your community. Kind regards, Luuk

Absolutely great what Colins and Evlyn are doing!
