My Story

"Hello! My name is Alice. I am very happy to be a student at Kinyago Dandora Schools. KDS has become a safe haven for me because here I am nurtured and supported. My favorite subjects are Christian Religious Education and Kiswahili. Being at KDS has brought me closer to God because we are taught to fear God and live according to His will.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about me and for considering walking alongside me in my journey.

I am jovial, friendly, and very grateful for the amazing opportunity to study at Kinyago Dandora Schools. I am committed to working hard in my studies so that I can build a better future.

I have two siblings: Joseph (14 years old) and Michael (16 years old). We live together with our mother in a small one-room house. My mother does not have a stable job and depends on selling bhajias (deep-fried potato fritters) by the roadside to provide for us. However, the income she earns is very limited and often not enough to meet our family’s basic needs.

When I grow up, I want to become a doctor. I am determined to take advantage of this opportunity and work hard so that my dream of helping others can one day become a reality.

I am deeply grateful to God, to you, and to Kinyago Dandora Schools for giving me this opportunity to study here and have access to quality education, healthcare, nutrition, and guidance and counselling."

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.
