Kibera Public School seeks to empower the individuals living in Kibera Slum, Kenya, through the use of local materials and labor. Due to Kibera’s substantial percentage of children who are not attending school, Kibera Public School provides an affordable, comfortable, safe, and sustainable environment for the students living in Kibera Slum, who cannot afford to attend a private school. Furthermore, this school is dependent on the use of local materials and labor and through the utilization of these resources, it provides the community of Kibera with valuable construction skills that can be used elsewhere and a sense of ownership in the school. This thesis examines the current conditions of school environments, in Kenya, showing how local materials and labor can be used to enhance the overall conditions of its schools affordably and sustainably.
