Bright Future Learning Centre is situated in the sprawling slums of Kiambiu behind Buru Buru Phase One State in the village of Kosovo. It started its operation in 2008 October by giving free counseling services to the slum women, then after sometimes the members realized that there was need to start up a merry go round for the unemployed women, and feeding programme for the children whom the group members used to meet on the round side within the slum. The members identified a one roomed house and contributed some money which they bought one sufuria and some plastic cups plus a stove in order for the programme to start off.
