My Story

“Hi! I’m Liam. I love playing football and hide and seek with my friends in school.”

Liam is a cheerful, outgoing, and energetic young boy who is always on the move. He loves outdoor activities and especially enjoys playing football and hide and seek with his classmates during break time.

He has a younger brother named Miles, and together they live with their parents in a one-room house in Dandora Phase IV. Liam’s father works as a hawker, selling socks to earn a living, while his mother is currently unemployed.

Despite their challenges, Liam’s family is deeply grateful for the opportunity he has to attend school at Kinyago Dandora Schools. Your support is helping him grow, learn, and dream of a brighter future. Thank you for being part of his journey.

Kinyago-Dandora Schools

The Kinyago-Dandora Schools are located in the slums of Nairobi in Kenya, East Africa. Kenya’s population of more than 31 million has suffered greatly in the past few years due to epidemics of malaria, cholera, and AIDS and to a devastating East African drought that caused mass starvation across the country.

Primary Education ~ Kinyago-Dandora School (KDS) has 592 students enrolled in primary classes (pre-school-8). Academically, KDS is one of the top schools in the district with a pass rate of 85%. Our students often win local music and sports competitions.

Secondary Education ~ Students leave KDS primary school well-prepared for the transition to our Kinyago-Dandora Secondary School (KDSS) which is one of the few in all of Kenya with a formal music program and computer lab. KDSS has been ranked by the Kenyan Ministry of Education as one of the best schools in the Njiru District with a pass rate of 100% for graduating seniors.

Post Secondary Education ~ The Bernard Sewe Scholarship Fund has been established to support KDSS graduates who attend colleges and universities across Kenya.
