Project Report | Dec 28, 2025
600+ Reasons to Celebrate: Your 2025 Impact

By Nowell Otieno | Programs Assistant

Dear Friends,

As we wrap up 2025, we celebrate a transformative year at Kibera Ballet School, a year where children discovered the beauty of movement, the discipline of dance, and the power of artistic expression. Thanks to YOU, our ballet and dance programs have provided children in Kibera with access to artistic training.

Through structured classes and dedicated instruction, students have mastered technical ballet skills including proper posture, developed discipline and focus extending beyond the dance studio, discovered confidence and learnt the beauty of teamwork and collaboration in group performances. 

But here's what makes us truly proud: Your support has enabled our students to participate in local, national and international performances this year, showcasing their incredible skills and proving that talent knows no boundaries. We've been able to create a sanctuary where children in Kibera can express themselves creatively in a supportive, judgment-free environment, changing how they see themselves and their future.

Your belief in the power of arts education has:

  • Provided dance instruction to 600+ children
  • Created opportunities where none existed before
  • Shown children in Kibera that their dreams matter
  • Built a foundation for future success

We're thrilled to announce that in 2026, we'll begin construction on our new facility, The Stella and Adam Project Elimu Center, a dedicated space designed specifically for arts education and dance training, featuring professional dance studios and expanded classroom space for our arts programs in Kibera.

None of this would be possible without our incredible community of supporters.  As we enter 2026, we invite you to continue this incredible journey with us. Your donations directly fund:

  • Expert dance instruction that transforms lives
  • Nutritious meals that keep students energized and focused
  • Dance supplies, equipment, and proper attire
  • Facility maintenance and improvements.

As this year ends, we're filled with gratitude for what we've accomplished together and excitement for what lies ahead. Every child who has danced, created, and grown through our programs carries with them proof that circumstances don't determine destiny. Thank you for making 2025 unforgettable. Here's to an even more extraordinary 2026!

Wishing you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year filled with joy, peace, and the same grace our students bring to the dance floor every day.
