About DACO Compassion Table
Many children in Kenya continue to face barriers to education due to poverty, inadequate learning resources, caregiving responsibilities, and other socio-economic challenges. As a result, many are forced to drop out of school, limiting their future opportunities and increasing their vulnerability.
-
Without sustainable intervention, these children risk remaining trapped in cycles of poverty and social exclusion.
With this realization, Dream Alive and Care Organization has developed DACO Compassion Table project - a sustainable Education Retention social enterprise initiative designed to generate resources for supporting vulnerable children with school fees and educational needs through partnerships and collaborations with multi faith congregations. - Inspired by the fellowship and generosity demonstrated by the early Church in the Book of Acts where believers gathered around shared meals, strengthened fellowship, and collectively cared for the vulnerable, DACO Compassion Table combines community engagement, faith, and social impact. The project will prepare and share quality meals with multi faith congregations at an agreed price per plate, with proceeds directed towards education sponsorship programs.
Theme:
"Sharing Meals, Building Futures: Activating the Spirit of Fellowship, Generosity, and Care for the Vulnerable."
-
✓ Meal Service Program
Preparation and sharing of quality meals to faith congregations as a fundraising activity that promotes fellowship while supporting vulnerable children's education. -
✓ Free Medical Checkup
Through partnerships and collaborations with health institutions, Dream Alive and Care Organization through DACO Compassion Table will provide free medical check up to the multi faith congregations and wider communities. -
✓ Psychosocial and Mental Health Awareness
Mental health challenges are real and often go unspoken. Our awareness talks open the conversation, reduce stigma, and point people toward support.
-
✓ Financial Literacy and empowerment
Working with partner financial institutions, we introduce congregations and community members to the financial products and services built to support self-development and self-reliance. Participants also leave with practical skills in saving, budgeting, and managing money, so their households are better placed to sustain their children's education and wellbeing -
✓ Partner and Donor Mobilization
Engaging multi faith, individuals and well-wishers through awareness campaigns, donor cards and sponsorship opportunities to build long-term support for the organization's Education program activities.
Expected Outcomes
Increased school retention and access to education for vulnerable children
Reduced school dropout rates caused by financial hardship
Enhanced community awareness of child vulnerability issues
