Walk Against Crime is an exciting fundraising event that you can be part of, changing the lives of many young people in Mathare slum, Nairobi. We are fundraising for KSEEEP a grassroots project set up in Mathare to lower crime rates and help many young people avoid or leave a life of crime. Through dance, football, education, economic empowerment and social guidance KSEEEP is already changing the lives of over 200 children and young people. In 2013 we will be bringing 10 dancers from Mathare slum to the UK to perform and raise awareness and support for their community project. To raise funds we are organising walks, concerts and other exciting events. In July 2012 Kathleen Scanlan from Zuri Design and Jeremy Piercy from Shared Earth walked 220 miles from Southport to Hornsea raising over £5000! Another Coast to Coast walk is planned for 2013, passing through the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and North Yorkshir Moors. Could you get involved? Read more…
Our Charity – The Zuri Foundation

Working in partnership with local organisations and charities we are enabling young people to earn a living and get access to education. In doing so many of these young people are able to avoid or leave a life of crime, destitution and poverty, changing lives . It is estimated that one billion people worldwide live in slums, a figure that is set to double by 2030. Employment and education is hard to access but changes lives instantly as we have seen many times first hand. Continue reading
Latest Update!
KSEEEP dancers recently met with American Idol winner Kris Allen. Kris Allen had travelled to Kenya with World Vision Charity to highlight the work they do. World Vision place orders at Zakale Creation craft workshop at which 6 of the dancers are now employed. It was an amazing day for the workshop and dancers who really enjoyed his visit and hope that the publicity will mean lots more orders for Zakale Creations workshop and lots more jobs for the youth in Mathare slum. Here is the link to you tube clip of Kris dancing, who gets your vote?! Kris Allen dances with KSEEEP troupe!
Here in the UK we are busy trying to plan our next fundraising walk. We will be posting details of the Coast to Coast route which takes in the beautiful Lake District.

Latest News from Kenya!
Walk Against Crime Nairobi took place on the 7th July 2012 and was a massive success! Over 300 youths walked from the Police Headquaters in Nairobi over 20 kms back to Mathare slum and through the getto. Many other supporters joined. The police actively supported the walk and the voices of the youths from the slum were heard by the police!
Relationships between the police and youth from Mathare have been improved by this event with talks now happening between Walk Against Crime Nairobi and the local police to try and involve some of the walkers in community policing. Local businesses and banks supported the walk seeing as they recognise the reduction of crime in their area is down to this amazing group of people. There are many photos of their facebook page which is www.facebook.com/walkagainstcrimenairobi and in our gallery. Follow their facebook page to see wha happens after the walk!
