My Story

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

Liam is a calm and kind-hearted young boy who enjoys playing soccer with his classmates. School is a happy place for him, where he can learn, grow, and have fun with friends.

He has one brother, Cephas, and the two of them live with their mother in a small one-room house in Dandora Phase IV. Sadly, Liam’s parents separated shortly after he was born, and his father has not been involved in supporting the family.

Cephas suffers from a nerve condition that has affected the left side of his body, including his hand and leg. Their mother works tirelessly as a hawker, moving around the community selling tea and bread. Despite her efforts, her income is very limited and often not enough to meet the family’s daily needs or cover Cephas’s medical expenses.

Liam’s mother is deeply grateful for the opportunity her son has to attend school at Kinyago Dandora Schools. With your support, Liam continues to learn, play, and pursue a brighter future. Thank you for being a 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.
