My Story

“Hello! My name is Nellyne and I love playing with my friends in school.” 

Nellyne is a calm, kind-hearted young girl who enjoys making new friends and learning new things at school. She feels especially happy at KDS, where she studies in the same class as her twin brother, Bracknell.

She is one of four siblings—Christabel, Bracknell, and Brivance—and they all live with their devoted mother in a small one-room iron sheet house in Dandora Phase II, close to the Dandora dumpsite.

Their mother shoulders the weight of the family alone, doing laundry and other manual jobs to make ends meet after their father left.

Her mother is deeply thankful to God and to you for helping give her twins a brighter future. Your support means the world to them.

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.
