From a children’s home into
bigger projects with schools.
We didn’t pop up overnight. This is the story of how two women, children and a whole lot of porridge created something that’s still growing.

2021-now

Education

And now our main focus is education, a fundamental children's right. Lala Salama works with schools to ensure that children continue to go to class. We do this through food programs, reducing food insecurity increases the chance that children do not have to work and go to school. We join forces with as many donors as possible to provide as many schools as possible with food programs. Do you join our mission?

2021-2022

Micro-credits

Our Covid-19 food aid helped 16 families and 8 of these families actually became more self-reliant and no longer in need of our help. The other 8 families lacked an income of their own and came up with the idea of setting up their own business, and Lala Salama offered micro-credit to set this up. Half of these businesses have been successful and are now self-sufficient: a great result! The families who weren’t able to make their business successful aren’t ignored, we think together about how we can still work towards success

2020 - 2021

Food Aid

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, many families in Southern Kenya have lost their income, which increased poverty. In collaboration with a church in Oloitokitok, Lala Salama has supported 16 families in their basic needs for over 8 months.

About us - Teule part

From 2009 to 2020, we were closely involved with Teule Children’s Home in Oloitokitok, South Kenya: a home supporting around 50 children. Together with the local team, we focused on strengthening self-reliance.We were closely involved with Teule Children’s Home in Oloitokitok, South Kenya: a home supporting around 50 children.

Solar panels were installed to provide stable electricity. A small dairy farm helped improve food provision and generate income. A drip irrigation system made farming possible during dry seasons.

Each step was aimed at reducing dependency and building long-term stability. Shaping the foundation of how we work today.
