My Story

"Hello! My name is Eliezer. I love my school because it has a beautiful environment and we eat good food. I am also very happy that my twin brother and I attend the same school at Kinyago Dandora Schools.

When I grow up, I want to become a doctor so that I can help people in my community and the world.

Thank you for considering walking alongside me and being part of my journey."

Eliezer is bright, confident, and cheerful. He enjoys studying Mathematics and Environmental Studies and loves playing football with his classmates.

He has two siblings: Brilliant (14 years old) and his twin brother Elphas (7 years old), who is in the same class with him at Kinyago Dandora Schools. They all live with their parents in a two-room house in Dandora Phase V. Their father works very hard as a boda boda rider (motorcycle taxi rider), ferrying people and goods around the streets of Dandora. Their mother earns a living by cooking mandazi (Kenyan fried dough snacks) and selling them by the roadside. However, their income is very limited and unreliable, and sometimes the family struggles to afford food and rent.

Despite these challenges, the family is immensely grateful that Eliezer and his twin brother Elphas have the opportunity to attend Kinyago Dandora Schools, where they receive quality education, nutrition, healthcare, and guidance and counselling in a supportive environment where they can learn and grow.

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.
