My Story

"Hello! My name is Sindy. I am very happy to be in school."

Sindy is a kind-hearted and cheerful young girl who is filled with excitement about her education at KDS. She has one sister, Ashley, and the two of them live with their mother in a small, one-room concrete house in Dandora Phase IV.

Although Sindy’s parents separated, her mother works tirelessly, washing clothes for others to provide for her daughters. On occasion, she also makes beautiful bead ornaments to sell.

Despite the challenges they face, Sindy’s family is grateful for your support, which has opened the doors for her to be part of the KDS family. With your help, Sindy is able to pursue her dreams, one step at a time. Thank you for being a part of her journey! 

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.
