Korogocho

The involvement of Project Albert in Korogocho helped to realise the visions of Peta Broadfoot, the wife of the British Army Commander, Kenya. Various tasks were undertaken including the provision of water storage tanks, the guttering required to collect rain water, and the refurbishment of the school.

Mathare

The Lonhro Hotel group had identified a project that they would like fund, and had asked Project Albert 2001 to undertake it. The Mathare Outreach Group kitchen was in dire need of modernisation in order to cope with the daily demands put upon it. Happily, we set about the task.
