Why Give to Us
Kenya Children’s Fund seeks to transform the lives of Kenya’s impoverished children by raising up servant leaders and providing life’s basic necessities including nutrition, medical care and education in a Christ centered environment.
Our students at the Kinyago-Dandora Schools (KDS) flourish under the nurturing care of African professionals committed to imparting faith-based principles to children in the most important time of life: the formative years from preschool to university. Armed with an education, these young men and women will return to their communities to serve as change agents in every sector of society.

Our Schools
In the heart of Dandora, one of Nairobi’s most underserved slum communities, our schools provide a place of hope for children from Preschool through Grade 12. Through the support of Kenya Children’s Fund in the United States, we walk alongside students and their families—lifting them from cycles of poverty into lives of purpose and achievement through Christ-centered education.
“I feel so blessed today to have received a food basket. I live with my grandson, Brian, who is an orphan. Just yesterday, we did not have enough food to eat, but now we have a basket full of provisions.
May God bless everyone who has made this possible.”
Grace, Grandmother of Brian (Grade 10)
“I am Lynn, a proud alumna of KDS. I began my journey at KDS in 2008 in Kindergarten, completed primary school in 2018, and joined Kinyago Dandora Secondary School in 2019, graduating in 2022.
After my exams, I joined The Cooperative University of Kenya, where I am pursuing a Diploma in Hotel Management and Catering.
Looking back, my heart is full of joy. KDS welcomed me when my education was uncertain and empowered me to reach where I am today. It has truly been by God’s grace.
I am deeply grateful to KDS, the teachers, sponsors, and donors for being a blessing to me and my family. You have truly changed my story.”
Lynn, Alumna
“My name is Elizabeth, and I am in Grade 10. It is such a blessing to receive nutritious meals at school. I especially enjoy my favorite meal—pilau.
At home, getting food can sometimes be a challenge, but at KDS we eat well. This helps me stay in school and focus on my education. I am truly grateful for this opportunity.”
Elizabeth, Grade 10
“My name is Junior, and I am in Grade 11. KDS has given me a chance to grow not only academically but also personally. Through guidance and counselling, I am learning to be honest, responsible, and to grow closer to God.
One day, I hope to become a Christian leader.”
Junior, Grade 11
“KDS has been a great blessing to me. I did not have the means to take my daughter to another school, but through the scholarship, she now has access to quality education. She also receives free healthcare and meals.
I am deeply grateful to all the donors who walk this journey with us. May God bless you abundantly.”
Agnes, Parent of Mary (Grade 6)
“My name is Jayson, and I am in Grade 6. I love my school because we have a clinic and a wonderful nurse. Whenever I am sick, I can go there and receive care.
One time I had a headache, and I was treated at the clinic. I am very thankful to all our sponsors for giving us this opportunity to learn and be cared for.”
Jayson, Grade 6
“I am so happy today. We have received an Easter Care Basket with cooking oil, soap, sugar, wheat flour, maize flour, rice, and even juice.
There will be food on the table this Easter and throughout the school break. Thank you so much for your kindness.”
Benta, Grandmother of George (Grade 5)
By 2005, after three visits to KDS, we had fallen in love with the students and wanted to better understand their lives, despite the challenges of spending extended time in the slum. That year, we brought journals and disposable cameras, teaching students to capture their own stories through photos and writing. What they shared became a treasure beyond words, telling the KDS story for over 20 years. Today, we’re partnering with KDS leadership to reconnect with the 2005 alumni, using interviews and surveys to document their journeys and celebrate God’s faithfulness, stories that will inspire both donors and current students.
