Dealt serving hundreds of volunteers who, in addition to providing work for free, pay the amount of their invitations.
This year, the collection of Solidarity Paella will be devoted to build a primary school in the Catholic Parish of Divine Mercy, located in the center of South Kariobangi slum, northeast of Nairobi, Kenya.
An area characterized by unemployment, poverty, political manipulation, insecurity, violence, moral and social degradation, tribalism, etc.
The Catholic Parish of Divine Mercy began in 1989 with the construction of a preschool and soon saw the need to continue with a primary school.
Currently has 357 children studying in very precarious conditions in wooden and tin buildings that are falling apart and lacking sufficient and credible agencies to educate the large number of children in this neighborhood.
Therefore their bodies have requested Manos Unidas extending the school through the construction of a three-story building, 15 classrooms, administration, dining room, multipurpose room, kitchen, library, computer room and toilet area.
