Tenderfoot Self Help School
Tenderfoot Self Help School was founded in 1996 by
Esther Wamai, a professional teacher. The task of helping children in especially
difficult circumstances in Kangemi is urgent. Donations have allowed for the hire
of temporary premises to be used for rehabilitation. Tenderfoot Self Help School
began with a class of 40 children aged between 3 and 6 years.
What is their aim?
Tenderfoot's aim is to reach as many children as they can and to effectively assist
them develop basic education and skills for their survival in life.
What are we doing to help?
We started by carrying out various fund raising events dressed as Batman and Robin.
To find out about other projects past and present such as the 3 peaks climb + row,
art auction and kids tag rugby, go to the events section.
Tenderfoot update
PassingItOn has raised enough money to build 4 primary school classrooms and provide
materials such as clothes, paper and pencils. Currently in Kangemi, most of the
children's education finishes after primary school. However, next door to the primary
school is a plot of land that we want to buy and help build a secondary school on.
That's what we're raising money for now.
Join us
We are committed to helping Tenderfoot build a school. So how can you help? We would
love to recruit more Batmen and Robin's to join us in our journey. In fact, you
could be any superhero, and do anything you can think of to help raise the money.
We already have a pair of caped crusaders in both Peru and Australia, all working
hard to help us achieve our goal. Anything you can do to help raise money for our
cause would be greatly appreciated.
For more information please contact Matt (AKA Robin) and Jim (AKA Batman) by emailing

Further information about Tenderfoot will be added here in the near future. For
