Elementary education course lasts compulsorily eight years, plus an optional one. At the beginning of the first year, each pupil is supplied with an exercise books, pens and textbooks that will remain of his/her property at the end of the studies. Every 30 seconds a Kenyan child dies of Malaria. Every 25.6 seconds another person dies of HIV/AIDS. Every 10.5 seconds another person dies of hunger/starvation which means that time for development is not spared-people are dying and they need salvage now. Slucano provides relief in the form of emergency livelihood so that job opportunities are created to reduce extreme poverty. Once they have been stabilized and have come back from the brink of death, and they are ready for development. slucano learning centre approach to humanitarian assistance is not simply to give people money or food, but to give them the means to earn their own money and to buy and grow their own food to become self-sufficient. This process happens in two stages; relief and development, every life needs a purpose: something larger than ourselves that drives us to reach a goal, solve a problem, fill a need. without a purpose we are just going through the motions, spending and getting, earning and struggling with no goals other than waking up the next day and doing it all again. When we have a purpose, those same actions gain context and meaningful. They make us happy, when we have a purpose we stop “getting by “and start really living. One of the strongest purposes you can find in life comes when you reach out to those around you. With Slucano , you have the opportunity to to reach out to many people living in unhealthy, the vulnerable and impoverished communities that we serve. You will have a chance to give to our three main projects, such as sponsoring education of orphaned children, livelihood projects, building of classrooms, library, and literacy classes in Oyugis, Narok and Kiambiu in Nairobi. You can even sponsor a child not a faceless statistic but a real specific child you will come to love by providing food, medicine, education and clothing she/he needs to live a full and successful life. <br />
