We are Tito Academy from Kenya,Kibera slums.
Actually,We are a youth group having operating for the last 15 Months.We have done some project of tree planting and involved in HIV/AIDS programmes.
Lately,We met with all the youths and we agreed to start a garbage collection,Cleaning and water treatment project.Here at our neighborhood many people get sick because the water they drink is not safe,The environment they live in is not healthy.For instance,One is living beside a bush and gets malaria.This is because mosquitoes hide there and breed highly to infect them with malaria.We would want to teach the people how to treat water.
We want to bring change in our area.
As Tito Academy Group we have agreed to try our level best to change this situation.
I am writing to you on behalf of the youths to request for any application for youth grants.When we will be lucky to be
granted the fund,We will be able to buy cleaning equipments and also water treating medicines.
You can ask for anything to prove our existence.
Thanks for your Understanding,
Regards,
Titus Muli.
