Take the Challenge

Have you ever wondered what it's like to live in a slum?

Can you go a day only using one bucket of water? What would be like to not use electricity at night? The 26 Day Challenge will give you a glimpse of how much of the world lives. Each day you has an activity that mirrors a common daily activity in Kibera, East Africa's largest slum.

We challenge you to not only act differently, but to think differently.
