With your support, The Coin Box created a nice library at Good Samaritan Home, in the heart of Mathare. The kids love it so much, and now need more space, more shelves, desks and books. So we’re reaching out again. Please view the videos below to highlight what we’re doing for the home this December 2020 / January 2021 – let us do this together!
UPDATE: The library shelves and reading spaces in rooms will be installed on the weekend of 9 – 10 January 2021. You’re invited to visit the library and further let your imagination run wild on how to make it super useful to the kids!
