During the mid-term break, the LUDO project team set up a vibrant and interactive LUDO board game center in the heart of Kibera. The center was equipped with colorful game boards, dice, and game pieces, creating a lively atmosphere that instantly caught the attention of children. Volunteers from the organization were present to guide and engage the children, fostering a safe and inclusive environment for learning and play.

The LUDO game was strategically chosen for its educational and social benefits. While children eagerly participated in the game, they unknowingly acquired essential cognitive skills such as critical thinking, decision-making, and problem-solving. Additionally, the game encouraged collaboration and communication, allowing children to develop their social and interpersonal abilities. 

Throughout the project, the LUDO board game served as a catalyst for fostering a positive community spirit. Children from different backgrounds and age groups enthusiastically came together, transcending their individual struggles and forming new friendships. The project aimed to break down barriers, reduce stigmatization, and encourage a sense of belonging among the children, instilling in them a sense of confidence and self-worth.

To further enhance the impact of the LUDO project, the organizers integrated short educational sessions within the game sessions. Volunteers introduced various educational topics through engaging discussions and interactive activities, ensuring that the children’s learning continued even during their vacation. These sessions covered subjects such as basic literacy, numeracy, hygiene practices, and environmental awareness, providing the children with valuable knowledge and life skills.

The LUDO project’s impact extended beyond the children themselves, as parents and community members also actively participated in the activities. The project aimed to create a strong bond between the community and the organization, fostering trust and collaboration for future initiatives that could address other pressing issues faced by the community.

In conclusion, the LUDO project successfully utilized the school mid-term break to engage and uplift  children. By combining entertainment, education, and community-building, the project fostered a positive environment for growth and development. The initiative aimed to empower these children by equipping them with essential skills, promoting social integration, and nurturing a sense of belonging within their community. Through initiatives like the LUDO project,  communities can be given a ray of hope and opportunities for a brighter future.
