My Story

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

Ezekiel is a cheerful, outgoing, and energetic young boy who brings joy to those around him.

He especially loves playing with his classmates during break time and is always full of energy. He has two siblings—Mark and Rose—and they all live with their parents in a small two-room house in Dandora Phase IV. His father works as a boda boda (motorcycle taxi) driver, while his mother sells vegetables to help support the family. Despite their hard work, their combined income is not enough to meet all the family's needs.

Ezekiel’s family is truly grateful for the opportunity he has to be part of the Kinyago Dandora Schools family. Your support is giving him the chance to learn, grow, and hope for a brighter future. Thank you for making this possible.

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.
