Giraffe project is a registered charity providing educational opportunities for children and young people from extremely deprived areas of Nairobi, Kenya. It works closely with 2 schools in the slums, and provides further support for teenagers to finish their studies in boarding schools and universities outside. Graduates from secondary schools are sometimes offered places in vocational training colleges. All the schools are managed and run by local people.
