The Opening Ceremony Of Tenderfeet Education Center.


At a colorful Ceremony, the new Tenderfeet school was officially opened. In attendance were the Collette foundation team, the children, teachers, parents and few invited guests. The Collette foundation has been instrumental in the funding of the purchase of the new plot of land for Tenderfeet that is large enough to hold the school buildings and also a playground for the children.

Tenderfeet education center has developed to aid Orphans and other vulnerable children of pre-school age in Nairobi, Kenya. Tenderfeet Education Center focuses on creating a positive environment for the children. The center was founded and directed by Margaret whose motivation is to improve the living situation of the country in the years to come.
Originally located in Kibera, The largest township in in East Africa, the school was forced to move due to the unrest In early 2008. Tenderfeet is now located in Riruta, a suburb of Nairobi, currently has 80 students. Although the location has changed, the passion of Tenderfeet is very much alive.
It was a privilege to be a part of this eventful day and just seeing the Joy on Margaret face and those beautiful smiles on the children's faces was just amazing. You could see a great future for the children.

While Margaret was giving her speech, one could not notice the joy felt from her words, she expressed the gratitude she had for all those who has enabled the project to to where it is now , she also highlighted on some of the steps the project has gone through to the current state.


The greatest achievement for the school so far has been the actualization of their own facility which has facilitated the fulfillment of Margaret's mission and vision.
We give God all the glory for this far he has brought them and pray for all other projects still pending like electricity to be installed and the completion of the Toilets.
