My Story

“Hello! I’m Jayden. I love playing hide and seek with my classmates in school.”

Jayden is a cheerful and polite young boy who enjoys every moment at school. He loves playing games—especially hide and seek—with his friends.

Jayden has three siblings: Beatrice, Benson, and David. They all live together with their parents in a modest two-room house in Dandora Phase V.

His father works as a casual laborer in a butchery, while his mother is a hawker who sells snacks around the neighborhood. Despite their hard work, the family's income often falls short of meeting their daily needs.

Even so, Jayden’s family remains hopeful and deeply thankful for the opportunity for their son to attend school at Kinyago Dandora Schools. With your support, Jayden continues to learn, grow, and pursue a brighter future. Thank you for being part of his 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.
