Mchungaji Mwema—which means Good Shepherd in Swahili—is a community-based Christian preschool serving children in the Kuwinda slum near Nairobi, Kenya. As a CBO (Community-Based Organization), the school is a recognized charitable organization and is operated by the community it serves.

This year, Mchungaji Mwema serves 42 children, ages 1 to 5, providing nourishing meals and a quality education for the youngest children in the Kuwinda community. The school is staffed by a dedicated team: a head teacher, an assistant teacher, a cook, and an administrator. Together, they ensure the children receive not only education but also love and attention.

Students are given a small breakfast and a full lunch each day, and the curriculum is designed to prepare them for entrance exams into Year 1 (first grade), opening the door early for further education and opportunity.
