My Story

“Hello! I’m Maxwell. I love my school because we play fun games!”

Maxwell is a playful and friendly young boy who loves being in school. He especially enjoys playing games with his classmates and making new friends each day at KDS.

Maxwell has one sister, Natasha. After their parents separated, he, his sister, and their mother moved in with their grandmother. The family now lives in a small two-room house in Dandora Phase IV. Unfortunately, Maxwell’s father is not involved in supporting the family.

His grandmother works hard making bead ornaments and bangles to earn a living, but the income is often not enough to meet all their needs.

Despite the challenges, Maxwell’s family is full of gratitude for the opportunity he has to attend KDS. With your support, he can continue to learn, play, and dream of a better future. Thank you for making this possible! 

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.
