My Story

"Hi! My name is Brighton. I am very happy to be at KDS. I love my school because we eat delicious food and our teachers care for us. My favorite meal is ugali and meat, which we eat at school.

When I grow up, I want to become a teacher.Thank you for considering walking alongside me and being part of my journey."

Brighton is confident, friendly, and responsible. He enjoys studying Environmental Studies and is committed to completing his class assignments.

Brighton has three siblings: Joy (9 years old), Precious (4 years old), and Prince (10 months old). He lives with his siblings and parents in a small one-room house in Dandora Phase IV.

Both of Brighton’s parents do not have stable jobs. His father works as a casual laborer at construction sites whenever work is available, while his mother washes clothes for other people whenever she gets the opportunity. Their income is limited and unreliable, making it difficult for the family to consistently meet basic needs such as food and rent.

Brighton’s parents are excited and deeply grateful to God, to you, and to Kinyago Dandora Schools for the wonderful opportunity Brighton has to attend the school, where he receives quality education, healthcare, nutritious meals, and guidance and counseling.

Kinyago-Dandora Schools

Kinyago-Dandora Schools are located in the heart of Nairobi's slums in Kenya, East Africa. Kinyago-Dandora Schools stand as a beacon of hope for the underprivileged children in the community, who face numerous challenges through the provision of quality education, holistic guidance and counseling, nutritious meals, and healthcare. In a country where the population is more than 50 million, Kenya has faced significant hurdles, including epidemics like malaria, cholera, AIDS, and the impact of a devastating East African drought leading to widespread starvation.
